Day Care and Class Reunion

We had another great weekend for miniature golf as we covered the entire spectrum of the education system. On Thursday (I know technically Thursday is not the weekend, but it’s close), we were at the Apple Kids Daycare in Marion. The children had a fun time. Since it was raining sporadically, it was a wonderful opportunity for an indoor activity. The course was a perfect fit for their gym/play area.

Then on Friday and Saturday we had the opportunity to be part of the Ringsted All-Class Reunion which was held in conjunction with the Ringsted Danish Days. We set up in the park and got to listen to Rock and Roll Oldies in the background. Since I’m a big Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, etc fan, it made the set-up experience even more enjoyable. The weather held up (mid 70’s and slightly partly sunny each day), so it was perfect outdoor mini-golf conditions.

Be sure to bring the kids out to Westdale Mall tomorrow night. We will be part of the Chick-fil-A Kids Night activities from 5:30 to 7:30. It’s free, so bring the whole family and enjoy a round (or two) of mini-golf. There are also other great activities for the kids as well.

Tanager Place Summer Fest 2011

The Tanager Place Summer Fest was yesterday and what a fantastic event. The weather was excellent and the crowds were wonderful. There were people waiting in line for miniature golf but fortunately the wait was short. This was our second year in a row for the Summer Fest, and we can't wait for next year. Check out the video.

Eat Mor Chickin

That's right. We were at Chick-fil-A in Westdale Mall Tuesday night participating in their weekly Kids Night activities. Everyone had a good time. Even the cow tried a few putts. However, the designers clearly did not have cows in mind when they invented putters. No worries though, there were a lot of kids that were willing to give some pointers.

We shortened the holes up a bit to accommodate the smaller space, but that didn't reduce the fun and enthusiasm. We had "children" of every age, from toddlers to grandparents (I'm not sure of the age of the cow).

We are looking forward to returning soon. Meanwhile, we are gearing up for the Tanager Place Summer Festival this Saturday, June 4th at the Rockwell-Collins Sports Complex. This will be our second year participating and we can't wait.
