It was a gorgeous day. After a walk with the dog we decided it was perfect to take advantage of Grammy and Grampy's croquet set at our house. We had planned a few times to have a game with friends as part of our geography coop but the weather didn't cooperate. So the weather was fine, the time was there, and we played. We played a traditional round the first time, following the rules and doing our best to talk with British accents. Then we tried doing a speed version, during which no one could stop moving. This was followed by a game of who could hit the ball the farthest and still get it through the target. It went down hill from there, mallets became crutches and balls became objects to hide. We followed the game with a high tea with watercress sandwiches and some British chocolate. We read Beatrix Potter books and snuggled. We will be starting Germany in the next week or so.
