Croquet!

The sun is out! The sky is blue! We're getting ready to have some friends over and I thought that it would be a good day to introduce Rowan to croquet. It's a pretty easy game. It involves colorful balls and decorated mallets. And she already been introduced to it in pop culture by Alice in Wonderland. It's also a game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, so it's perfect to set up today as we wait for our friends to come over. Although croquet is not necessarily the most active game, it does help teach coordination, good sportsmanship, sharing & taking turns, and how to use equipment, which are all very valuable.
Rowan is having a lot of fun practicing before our friends get here. She can't wait for the games to begin. Now off to brew some good, strong tea and make some cucumber sandwiches before our friends arrive!
