Croquet

Tammy has been talking about playing croquet in their massive backyard for a while now. So, we all went outside to set up and play. And, of course, the boys want to come and they start hitting each other with the croquet sticks and it turns into a circus. Good thing I like the circus. It was blazing hot outside but we all had fun learning a new game and spending time together. Jared and Sereen have to go home tonight, so we're sapping all the fun out them that we can. ;)

Check out this VIEW! I love Jeff and Tammy's backyard. 

Only Sereen can (or would) rock a scarf in the Texas summer heat

 Aw.... young love. ;)

 Umbrellas channel your inner Downton Abbey and make you look and feel cool

Mitchell demonstrating the Common Style, or how-people-normally-hit-the-ball

Adventure Style (because Derek and sticks make a dangerous mix)

 Austin demonstrates Redneck Style (with lemonade)

 Here's Tammy demonstrating... dare I say it... Granny Style!

Playing the part of Sweet Southern Belles

 We all instantly became experts, critiquing hits and making recommendations. No pressure right?

At least your kids don't care how well you're hitting the ball. :)
