Mini golf and ice cream were the order of business today as we enjoyed our last day with Kris and Rob. Kimbal Farm allowed us to enjoy both. We played with an Earle-developed set of rules that eschewed traditional scoring in favor of a hole-by-hole system designed to increase the speed of play. Kris won 3 holes, and Jeanine and I tied with two holes each. Points are earned only if you sink your putt with fewer strokes than anyone else. If two players take the same number of strokes, then no one earns a point. Jeanine seemed to enjoy depriving me of a point, something she did three times, more than she did earning one.

Our schedule did not permit a round of bumper boating, but we did have time for what we believe is the area’s best ice cream. After three days in the sun, we were quite happy to sit back and enjoy three World Cup matches during the balance of the day.
