Bedtime Stories Cozy Corner Podcast show

Summary: Mia and Max play a fun game of miniature golf with their parents.<br> <br> Narrator: Female<br> <br> Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:32<br> Putt-Putt Fun Excerpt:<br> “Dad, what are we going to do today?” asked Mia.<br> <br> “Today we’re going to play miniature golf,” replied Dad.<br> <br> “Oh wow, cool!” exclaimed Max.<br> <br> “Miniature golf? What’s that?” asked Mia.<br> <br> “Mini golf is like grownup golf, but it’s better for kids and it’s more fun,” said Max. “You get a golf ball and a golf stick…”<br> <br> “…a putter,” said Mom, smiling.<br> <br> “…a putter,” continued Max, “and then instead of hitting the golf ball into holes in the grass like in a regular golf game, you hit the ball into holes next to cute little buildings and castles and stuff. Some people call it Putt-Putt golf. Maybe because of the putter.”<br> <br> “Wow,” said Mia, “I want to play Putt Putt!”<br> Today’s Meditation: Today, notice loving energy flowing through your body, from your feet up to your head.<br> Looking for stories with <a href="https://www.ahwayisland.com/mystery-jug-a-story-with-a-positive-message/">positive learning moments</a> for your little one?  You'll find it on Ahway Island®.
