Frisbee Golf





Frisbee golf is an activity almost anyone can do. It requires the investment of a few discs, but generally the "golf" courses are free to play. Free. . . music to my ears. We loaded up the kids, a water jug, and some Frisbees and headed to Roper park for Frisbee, or disc, golf.

This is the first time in years Colby had been out, and we haven't taken the kids since I was preggers with Evie. The weather was warm but not humid. The disc course is large but not unmanageable. We didn't really expect much structure and didn't keep score. It was nice to get everyone out for some exercise and fresh air. Of course, we had to hear the usual glass half empty comments from Brody: "I'm not playing Frisbee golf again because I'm all sweaty." "Are we gonna be here all day?"

The girls were more interested in a stray cat than golfing. The boys just wanted to run around and throw their discs at each other. Colby wanted to jump in front of a car passing on the nearby interstate. And me?? I just took the photos and dispensed water.

Some kind young men informed us on about hole 6 that we left our van door open. Did they close it for us? No, they just left it open. Nice. So, we quickly trekked back to the van to close the door. It was okay, though. I think everyone was pretty much done, especially Colby. He is a man of little patience when it comes to the kids.
