I recently got a chance to go home for a 2 week family reunion. As you can tell from this picture we spent a lot of time playing croquet.
For all of those who haven't played this simple game of croquet, it can get quite vicious. At one point we were all screaming at each other. The picture on the right doesn't really depict what it was really like.
First of all, lets talk about the conditions. It was super hot and muggy on the day of the championship. Secondly, we are dealing with people that have little to no people skills, and or smarts. Lastly, the worst part of the tournament was the bugs. I forgot how many bugs there are in Kentucky. Notice, that half of us are wearing pants, (to avoid the bug bites).
To make a long story short. My team got second place. Ben and Hope got 1st place, and Jason and Lincoln got last place.... (they used the strategy of might over mind, and would send the balls flying over the hill, which caused them to lose!)
To make a long story short, it was a great time, and even though we fought the entire time, I'm sure everyone else would agree with me, saying that it's the best time we've had in a decade.
