Little hiker solution: disc golf

In a recent post, I lamented that Scarlett was getting to the age where she wanted to be out and we still had a mile and a half from the car.  I'm experimenting with a few solutions, and we came across one purely by accident: disc golf.  Yes, that random version of golf for hippies and granolas.  Perfect, perfect for toddlers.  Sunday is family day, we relax and enjoy our family unit of 3.  Sometimes other family joins us, my brother and his fiance, close friends or Wes' sister and her boyfriend.  Yesterday was such a day.

Kayloe and Molly joined us for a game of disc at Milo McIver State Park.  The 18-hole course is long and pretty flat.  It's busy, but not crowded and the holes are long and straight.  Red was just asleep when we arrived, so we put her in the stroller, and of course she promptly woke up.  But that meant that we had the stroller, sounds annoying I know but it wasn't actually, and she could walk when she wanted and ride when she needed to.

She mostly walked.  Luckily, disc golf can be a leisurely game, so walking with a toddler only makes it a little more leisurely.  The bonus is that she was also pretty entertained by the game, so sometimes she would walk up and put a disc she'd been carrying in the baskets and liked to see the discs ring the chains.  What a great way to spend the day with family, be outside with a toddler on-the-move and relax.  I highly recommend this.
