Zach, Whitney and I decided to plan a date for mini golfing. It's a shame that there are so few courses around the area but we found one near her home. We went to Putter There right by the Como Zoo. The office was a little caboose, it was so cute. We waited in the long line for hole 1 for awhile, then the nice young man who was working the course told us to go ahead to 9 and get started. We started off great with me getting a HOLE IN ONE!! We continued on our game, laughing and having a good time. I decided there were infinity do overs while playing, while Whit and Zach kept trying to add strokes on my game!
We were about half way through the course when we came to a hole with one of those little metal loop to loops, where you hit the ball in one side and it rolls along and out the other side. Whit wound up for her stroke, hit the ball and it in some strange way hit the side of the structure and went flying in the air. As we all covered out mouths and Zach yelled watch out there was a little girl, about 5 years, and her brother (about 7) on the hole next to us. She covered her head and went running. Unfortunately the ball followed her hitting her smack in the back of the head. Zach was laughing so hard I thought he was going to be rolling on the course. Whit was almost in tears at the fact that she had hit a child on the mini golf course. The brother was laughing, as he was trying to console his sister. He thought it was great. All in all no one was hurt and we contemplated giving Whit a 7 stroke penalty for hitting a child.
In the end, the scores were as follows:
Zach: 39
Whit: 43
and me winning first place with 44!! (I decided that the highest score won that day!)
