Mulligans Crazy Golf

There is a fab new indoor crazy golf restaurant/bar opened up over Bas Vegas where Chicago's used to be located. Me and the boys checked it our before going to Devon but they only had one 12 hole course called "Arcade" open and were still finishing off the second 12 hole course called "Funfair". So we decided to give it a try once we got back from Devon and we were not disappointed. The courses are really creative, challenging and very playable. Me, Holly, Joshua and Brandon brought a family ticket to play both courses and must have been in there a couple of hours.

Brandon added up the scores afterwards and claimed to have beaten me by two shots - but I am not sure I am buying that. Joshua loved it so much he wants to go there for a family meal and play for his birthday this year. Holly did OK but I did have to keep showing her how to hold a club thumbs down and to stand the right side (most of the time I think she was trying to play hockey!).

The start of the Funfair course and me teaching Holly how to hold a club.

None of us made it under the dodgems first time on hole 2.

The Funfair course is very colourful and creative.

Holly enjoyed the golf and insisted on going first on every hole (so impatient).

Joshua struggled on the bus jump and the ball kept bouncing out.

Brandon nails it.

Hit this one right and the caged lion roars at you.

On the final hole of the Funfair course, all 4 of you play at the same time in a race to score the least points.

On the Arcade course they have a Guinness cup hole which we found nearly impossible to bounce of the ramp and in to the cup. So instead lets have a sip of Guinness.

The Tetris themed hole was good fun playing two at a time.

Reminding Holly how to hold the club again. By the way I aced this hole!

A bit of air hockey golf, avoid the moving puck handle thingy.

Avoiding bouncing your ball off of tyres on the racing car track hole.

Really fun hole to hit the ramp at the perfect trajectory to get it in the basketball hoop.

A pool table themed hole.

On this hole you have to fire your golf ball in a pinball machine!

The Football table course is really good fun as your opponents can spin the football players kicking your ball around.

Holly tee's off on the football table hole.

As with the Funfair course all 4 of you play the final hole simultaneously. You all pick a colour, start the timer and then it is race on to get your ball in the hole first.

Crafty Katie's Carnival Fashion T-Shirt Design

Every half term Holly has been spending one day of the break attending a Crafty Katie's workshop where she does all kinds of crafts with her friends. During the summer holidays she went just before our holiday to Devon and the theme was Carnival Fashion. So for the craft aspect they had to design their own carnival mask and t-shirt and then they all put on a fashion parade to music. Holly was nominated the winner for the day which was just amazing.

Also during the summer holidays the kids all done a day at Stubbers Smash Camp where they got to do canoeing, archery, climbing, raft building etc.

Not related to this particular blog but here is a picture of our Princess meeting two mermaids in town last week.

Devon Camping 2019 Day 9 - More Body Boarding

Our last full day in Devon and the kids just wanted to play on the beach which was absolutely fine with me as the weather was pretty good and the beach here was lovely. So for this blog update it is really just lots of beach pictures again with a little bit of pool and some sand art for Holly also thrown in there. 

The highlight of the day for the kiddies was that I told them as it was out last day they could go to the shop for breakfast and buy an ice cream each (something which Auntie Nicky started several years back when we went camping with her and Nanny/Granddad). Amazing how the little things mean so much to the kids and they all couldn't wait for this.

On our last day we had to be off site by 10am so we packed up early and then went for a full English breakfast in the restaurant before hitting the road. On the way home we once again stopped at Stone Henge (at the kids request) to break up the journey and it was much less windy that a week and a half ago. Anyway for some reason I got no pictures from our struggles with getting the tent down and loading everything in to the car and then the second visit to Stone Henge.

I never got bored of seeing that beautiful view of Croyd beach from over the camp site.

Ice cream for breakfast (thanks to Auntie Nicky).

Last day of making the most of the beach and some body boarding.

Finally manage to get some closer pictures of the boys.

Using his board to fend off the oncoming wave.

There's a Josh in there somewhere.

Tomorrow I need to figure out how to get all these body boards back in what was already a very packed car!

Brandon didn't do much body boarding on the last day and just wanted to jump around in the waves.

Holly had a few more goes but got quite cold again and ended up wanting Mummy cuddles.

Amazingly I think Brandon spent more time in the sea this holiday than anyone else.

Holly warming up with a Mummy cuddle.

The boys stable diet for lunchtime had become these sausage rolls sold in the onsite shop which they took quite a liking too.

For me and Tina it was the Cornish (or should I say Devonish) pasties.

When in Rome - eat a Cornish pasty!

Joshua and Brandon having a couple of games of pool whilst Holly played on the soft play area.

I think it ended 1-1 which is a surprise as usually Brandon is a little better than Joshua.

Holly really enjoyed doing a sand art picture of Sparkle which made another nice souvenir for her to bring home.
