Darren Loves Mini-Golf



Darren's new favorite thing is to play mini-golf. He has a fantastic sweeping technique that usually puts him at 14 over par on each hole but who is counting? At least we know we are not. He has gotten a lot better and has started the last few times actually hitting the ball (as apposed to sweeping it) into the hole.
We have played Eagle Lake (Roy), Swan Lake (Layton), Fat Cats (Ogden), and Toad's (North Ogden).
When ever he puts the ball in the hole, which usually occurs a few times on each hole, he jumps up and cheers "YEEAAH, I did it!!!" It is awesome the sheer joy he gets from it. Not to mention our enjoyment watching him. He is also learning to encourage us also. Every time Carmen or I put the ball in the hole we are rewarded with the high pitched shout of , "Way to go Carmen!!" or "Way to go Daniel Roger!" (yes that is really my middle name).
So while you are inside reading this we are most likely enjoying mini-golf somewhere along the Wasatch Front.
FOUR!!


Hole in 1!
