mini golf, mini golf, and more mini golf!

One of the main attractions for us down in Myrtle Beach is the array of themed mini golf courses! These little girls could never get enough, and I think they’d play all day long if we let them. We kicked off our putt-putt spree with Jungle Safari Golf! This was the first year that Kaelyn had some idea of how to play, so it made things extra fun. Our big Minnie Mouse fan would always excitedly gasp when we asked her if she wanted to go play, thinking that we were saying, “Minnie Golf!” Maybe that would have been an option if we’d gone down to Disney World! 😉 She was always happy to play anyway. Kaya was so glad to be golfing around all these animal statues! Can we just reminisce for a moment about Kaya in this exact spot, 3 years ago? The giraffe looks just as dilapidated, but Kaya has grown so much! I forgot to bring the Ergo on this trip, so we took turns carrying Nella around. If she got the chance, she tried to eat our golf balls! I came within one point of tying with Michael on our first game! That’s unusually good for me! Later in the week, we went to Jurassic Mini Golf! The girls loved the animatronic dinosaurs, although they were actually terrified of this Tyrannosaurus Rex that really blinked and roared! Everyone made their best dinosaur faces for a photo! This course had dinosaur footprints all along the walking path. There were also several waterfalls! Kaelyn adopted what we started calling, the “hockey technique”. To be honest, both the girls cheated a little bit, but they’re still so young that we let it go. In a couple years though, it’s on! Right up until the end of the trip, the girls kept requesting (and even asking in their morning prayers) for us to go mini golfing one more time. We ended our final evening with 18 holes at Jungle Lagoon! This course was the most physically challenging with kids. There were two routes, and we chose the one that took us to the very top of the hill in order to see the view. It was a little slippery from all the waterfalls, too. It was a pretty wonderful panorama of the city, though! Sleepy baby! Our trip as a whole wore her out. Kaya struck this pose completely on her own. She is totally my child. We ended it all with a little more “hockey” and some Chinese food. It was the perfect finish to our trip!
