A few weeks back I showed you part one of a two part series on our Memorial Day weekend. I'm finally getting around to part two...work sure does get in the way sometimes. Good thing I love my job!
Graham (my brother) decided that we should all get together and have a croquet tournament. We all agreed and were very excited to play - and many of us were surprisingly competitive in this leisure sport. Croquet can be quite cut-throat.
In true Graham fashion he named the competition after himself.
We drew names to see who would be playing against one another. If you remember - Doug and Lacy already had a rivalry going from the dominoes game two nights before - and as luck would have it they played each other in round one.
First Round: Doug & Lacy | Winner - Doug!
First Round: Lara & Janelle | Winner - Lara!

Doug's ready.
Final Round: Scott & Doug | Winner....
Graham giving them encouragement and inspiration by showing them what they're playing for.
Oooh...Doug's getting a bit cocky it seems.
And the first winner of The Kimmerer Cup Supreme Croquet Trophy is Scott!
We decided to do one more round to decide the third place winner, which meant it was me and Graham - the two Kimmerer's in the crowd. I was excited - Graham was serious.

That's a serious croquet face.
This is a serious croquet stance.
And the third place goes to Lara!! Graham was very gracious.
He even barbecued for everyone.
And that's all until next time. I'm looking forward to the next Kimmerer Cup!
