croquet in the park

last night we met up with some friends to play croquet. since there were six of us, we decided to let everybody place their own "hole" anywhere they wanted {a couple of us got to place 2}. there was a sidewalk running right through the park and chris decided to place his at the very edge of the sidewalk between the concrete and grass. it was the 4th hole in the course. we spent the next hour-and-a-half trying various shots at different angles to try and hit the hole. it was hilarious for the first while, but it soon became frustrating. several turns went by and i had only moved a couple of inches. lex made it through first, followed by brandon then me. chris made it through next and then quinn. becca, bless her heart finally made it through {i would have given up long before}. only two out of the six of us made it through the final hole to win and become poison. the game ended when brandon killed becca as she was trying to make it through the second to last hole. the good news? everybody made it through the tricky spot. the bad news? brandon gets to bask in his glory until the next rematch.
