Florida Part Two--Smuggler's Cove

The night after Parker got his stitches, my mom and sister oh-so-kindly watched Audrey so that Ryan and I could take Parker on a "date".  We first went to Smuggler's Cove, which is the local mini-golf place.  When we went to Florida last year, there was a mini-golf course at the hotel we stayed at in Orlando, and he has mentioned it several times.  He was so excited when we told him we were going to play again.


This particular mini-golf had a pond with alligators to feed.  Of course, Parker liked it!




Check out this sweet little head and neck.


Sweet little boy.



It was fun to play no-rules/no-score golf with my two men.


A little help with his form from Daddy.

A couple funny things about our golf experience.  One was that there was a placard at one of the holes that said something about a ghost whispering the secret of the hole to you (or something like that).  His little face was so concerned until we reminded him that ghosts are not real and that there was actually not going to be any ghosts whispering any secrets to him.  There were also a couple caves in the course, and within one of those caves was a little vignette that had a skeleton dressed a pirate with some treasure-type items.  He looked completely terrified.  We told him it was Captain Hook's treasure chest and somehow that made him seem to feel a little better about it.  He talked about it for the rest of the evening and trip.  


After dinner, we went to eat at The Pub and had a nice dinner on the deck.  After dinner, we went to have ice cream at the Candy Kitchen.  It was such a great night and so fun to do something alone with our sweet little boy!
