This past weekend, we took the children to Boulder Falls Miniature Golf at the United Sports Training Center in Downingtown. They had never been miniature golfing (though Tom has taken Thomas golfing with him – Thomas even has his own kid-size club). There is only one course at Boulder Falls, and it’s not decked out with cutesie animal figurines. It’s simple, well landscaped, with great water obstacles. Men could play here and still feel manly. The prices are reasonable, and they even have specials and frequent golfer punch card. Like with some coffee places, you get a free round after so many.

The weather threatened downpour, but we only fared a few sprinkles. Tom did get some digital video footage – I hope it turns out. Aiden got a hole-in-one! Thomas and Tabitha were very excited about every shot. Lots of champion stances and jumping up and down.

The biggest hit was a hole about half-way through, where the ball went through an opening on the top of the hill, and then lined it up for a nice shot. Another particularly fun hole was a shot on a small bridge over a little stream… and if the ball landed in the water, the current carried it over a metal grate that directed the ball to the hole.

We stopped keeping score. This is a good thing.
