Blacklight Golfing at Trafalga

This afternoon our older boys had the opportunity to go bowling with the after-school program.  They have worked hard during the week and today was an extra special event for the kids.  Aleky was feeling bad that he wasn't going to be able to participate in the games.  It didn't help that Michael was expressing particular enthusiasm at his fortunate opportunity to go with his brothers.

This being the case, I didn't want Aleky to feel completely left out so I promised him the chance to do something fun as well.  I would take him up to Trafalga in Orem to go miniature golfing indoors, on the blacklight course.  That was on my lunch break but he definitely remembered when I got home from work.  So Michelle and I loaded up the younger 3 children and off we went. 

Aleky had a lot of fun and couldn't hardly stand how long it took his parent to get the ball in the hole.  He was done in micro-seconds and wanted to be off to the next hole.  Even in the blacklight, with Aleky heading off two or three holes ahead, we were able to complete the course together.  Quinten is still getting the hang of the game.






The older boys walked home from school because we weren't done with our game.  It probably would have gone faster if we were not keeping score for Michelle and I.  In the end there was only a single stroke difference.

Afterwards, we headed home via Papa Murphy's Pizza and ended up with a nice family size pizza.  We all had a fun afternoon playing games.  As it turns out, the boys didn't get to finish their bowling game; they had 3 frames to go when time ran out and they had to return to the school.  It was probably better that way because they couldn't have any winners or losers, just happy kids.
