...family and croquet...

Yesterday was the 5th Annual Family Croquet Tournament. Our daughter, Kate, started this tradition back in college at her duplex. It has turned out to be a family event not to be missed. This year we held it at our house ( it's hard to play croquet around a condo!). Anyway, with much help from her friend Chris and from her sister, Erin and her husband, Kris, the event was another great success! Although the rules seem to change year to year, never mind wicket to wicket, there was alot of laughter, good food, a little arguing and great family fun. Check out some of the action shots........

...the gallery follows each player....

"...where did our ball go......"

..."I think it's going to break towards the squirrels' tail... "

...small players...

...water hazards...

...even smaller players...

...liquid refreshments....

...quad rides...

...and good food...

By the end of the day everyone was tired, happy and full! We have a great family!
