Lucy’s Journal – June 3, 2026

Mini Golf Mayhem and Slush Puppie Victory

Today started out as one of those “everybody pile into the car and hope for the best” kind of days. Peanut was already causing trouble before we even left the driveway. He somehow managed to steal the little scorecard pencil and hide it under the seat. Nobody noticed until we got to the miniature golf course.

The place had waterfalls, little bridges, fake caves, and one of those giant windmills that always seems to knock the ball away at the last second. The Quackers immediately declared themselves “professional athletes” and marched straight to the first hole like they were entering a tournament on TV.

Kiwi spent the entire first hole yelling, “HOLE IN ONE! HOLE IN ONE!” before anybody even hit the ball.

Things stayed mostly normal until hole number four.

That’s when Peanut cheated.

Lucy lined up the perfect shot, but right before the ball rolled into the hole, Peanut casually reached out a paw and tapped his own ball ahead when nobody was looking. He acted like it was completely accidental too. The Quackers started yelling “FOUL! FOUL!” and flapping their wings dramatically while Kiwi laughed so hard he almost fell off the score table.

Then Kiwi decided HE wanted to cheat too.

At hole seven, Kiwi picked up his golf ball in his beak and tried to drop it directly beside the hole while shouting, “Birdie! Birdie for the birdie!” Unfortunately for him, Lucy caught him immediately. Kiwi tried pretending he was “just cleaning the ball,” which nobody believed for one second.

Meanwhile, the Quackers actually played surprisingly fair. They took forever lining up every shot, though. One duck would stare at the hole while the other whispered “strategies” into his ear like they were planning a military operation.

By the final hole, the scores were close.

Peanut insisted he should win because “style points matter.”

Kiwi claimed he deserved bonus points for “aerial maneuverability.”

The Quackers tied for second place after both accidentally knocking their balls into the water hazard at exactly the same time.

And Lucy?

LUCY WON.

The celebration was completely over the top.

Lucy ran around waving the tiny plastic golf club in the air while Kiwi made victory music noises from the scoreboard. Peanut pretended he “let her win,” even though everyone knew that wasn’t true. The Quackers demanded a trophy presentation and tried to build one out of napkins.

After all the chaos, everybody went out for giant Slush Pupppies afterward.

Kiwi drank his too fast and got a brain freeze.

Peanut got blue raspberry all over his whiskers.

One of the Quackers mixed every flavor together and proudly called it “swamp juice.”

Lucy sat there smiling with her championship scorecard sitting proudly on the table beside her giant cherry slush.

Honestly, it was probably one of the funniest afternoons we’ve had in a long time.

And yes…

Peanut is still insisting he won.
