the croquet party by sugarlily
..............
woowee have we ever been enjoying backyard croquet parties since a new set arrived on my birthday! (thanks cutie!)
i just gosh-darn love playing: outdoors, laugh-y, partially strategic, partially flukey, no-athleticism needed FUN!
ever played?
{if no - hurry out to find a set!}
as a bright spot in my otherwise non-illustrious sporting career: i'm proud to tell you that once upon a time mr. rikrak and i were 2-term croquet tournament-among-friends-champions! we USED to have the trophy to prove it! {darn you, jm, for de-throning us!} :)
alas...i'm sorely out of practice!
off to the lawn to rediscover my prowess!

We play croquet every summer at my MIL's cottage! I never win, but it is fun.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your trophies!
fun, grace!
ReplyDeletei actually usually never win, as well. but it's so fun that never seems to matter!
My son was given a miniset to play croquet, but we have no idea how the game is played, we'll try and learn the rules, as it's really exotic for us in Spain,

How fun! I've actually never officially played...I think I've tried before, but gave up. I should get a set and play :)
ReplyDeletefun, marta! i recommend just setting up the *wickets* and choosing your own rules!
ReplyDeletehave fun!
and yes - kristi - you should! it's so fun! but beware: it's highly obsessive :)
Croquet is such a fun and charming thing. My grandmother had a set we played with all the time!
