Hitting the links with Tess and Drew

Tess and Drew love to visit the local miniature golf course to play a round.  Drew starts asking early on Saturdays: "Dad, can we go play golf?"  The course is nothing fancy--no tunnels, windmills, castles, animals, dinosaurs, or cartoon characters--but we always have fun.  

Tess and Drew pose before the first hole.  No surprise that Drew (flashing his "cheese ball" grin) picked a green ball.

Drew has come a long way since his early days as a miniature golfer.  When he was 2, he typically ran up to the hole, dropped the ball an inch from the hole, and then knocked it in (or tried to knock it in).
