Dylan: We live in South Hadley, Massachusetts. We were in Cape May for the day, waiting for the ferry to Lewes, Delaware, so we stopped in at the mini-golf range. It’s fun to play. And mini-golf is a lot easier than regular golf. We did pretty well that day. The other boy is my brother, Dan. We didn’t really know the girls. They were just there. I always dress like that. It’s my summer attire.

Victoria: We’re from Wayne. We were down there for our family reunion. We went to the golf course and it was really fun.

Valerie: The house we usually rent on Long Beach Island was sold, so we went down to Cape May instead. We rented out the whole bed and breakfast. There are lots of us: cousins, aunts, uncles. Maybe about eighteen people in all. They come from Tennessee, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey. The beach was really great in Cape May, and the food was awesome. The best thing is chilling at the beach.

Dylan: Usually we go to the White Mountains in New Hampshire, but my mom has family in Lewes, so we decided to head south instead. This was our first time at the Jersey Shore. It was really nice.

Victoria: Mini-golf is something we like to do. Usually it’s my sister, Valerie, and me and our parents, and my cousin Julia. She’s from New Providence We all go on a group outing.

Dylan: When we got to Lewes, they didn’t have any mini-golf there.
