Patch the Pirate Club Goes Glo-Golfing

On Sunday, Allyson Maynard and Missy Fancher took their Patch the Pirate Club kids (along with Allyson's husband Mark, who, incidentally, was told he was too "old" to be in the Patch the Pirate Club) to the Florence Mall to experience their new Glo Golf course. This is an 18-hole golf course that is lit completely with black lights. It was interesting trying to explain to the kids what a "black light" was and how exactly it functioned. Despite the science lesson, everyone had a great time. Afterwards the kids went with Mark and blew every dollar they had on toys while Allyson and Missy got to do a little Christmas shopping. According to Joshua Baker, after the outing was over, "Nobody had any money left, but at least I still had some 'sense'!" That evening, the Patch the Pirate Club sang two songs (accompanied by a snazzy dance routine by Joshua Baker) and Mark preached the service. It was a fun but exhausting day!
