Croquet Day 1 - Annapolis Johnnies vs. Santa Fe Johnnies

The day began with Caramel Baked French Toast and Mimosas.


We stuffed fifteen friends into our little place - the record so far. 

Rowan let Valerie hold him for about 5 seconds, another record. 


Then we went to St. John's.


This is what I wore. 


I loved this feathery thing. 


Ro frolics among the wickets and beer cans.


Pickled Cinnamon Grapes with Mustard Seeds and Black Pepper (recipe coming soon).

Our picnic basket. 


Rowan explores the campus. 


Val watches the match. 


And the day ends, as many good days do, with poker night. 


P.S. Annapolis beat Santa Fe.

oh this just looks like so much fun! Indy has the same feathery flower...though hers is hot pink, of course, and she wears it round her waist;)
Can't wait to see day 2!

Of course Annapolis has a veteran squad that represented the school for what...200 years perhaps? No wonder they beat the newcomers from Santa Fe. But how did they do against the cadets who have been playing perhaps every bit as long as have the Johnnies?

The pictures are great! Miss you all so much! Who knows, maybe we'll be moved out your direction this time next year...
