Croquet!

I've been meaning to get some of these photos up for a while but it wasn't until today that I was able to grab them from our good friend Mrs. Janenne (an awesome photographer who I hope doesn't mind me sharing). My wife and I were honored to be a part of the annual July 4th deClouet Croquet tournament. I believe we may have been the first non-family members allowed to join the event...and to top it off, I had the crazy enough luck to win the tournament! There is an entire album of these photographs available here. I picked a few of my favorites.


There is a trophy that comes with this win...and my name is officially engraved on it. I am allowed to have it in my house for 1 week this year so I figure I will host it the week of Christmas so I can show it off to my family.

This is a photo of the participants getting a tour of the course.
