Scrambled

Another Father's Day. . . another Annual Croquet Tournament!

This year, we tried a new twist:  a Croquet Scramble!

We divided into teams (a rather complicated process; I'll spare you the details).  It was . . .

The Cheaters Brian's Team

vs.

The Blue Balls (Yes.  I know.  Certain members of the other team could not resist.  And, yes.  They are rather tiresome.)

I know it looks unfair; rather unbalanced.  Four against three, and all.  But . . . we had a secret weapon!

Yep.  Jenny was on our side!

As usual, the afternoon was marked by . . .

Strategy!

Technique!

Personal victories!

Nail-biting tension!

Hyjinx!

In the end, there was a winning team . . .

 And a whole lot of fun . . .

Any way you . . . scramble it!

(And - added bonus - nothing caught fire this year!)
