Competitive croquet

Victoria and Seth's wedding weekend in Aspen was chock full of activities, including a particularly bloodthirsty game of croquet. I was paired with Victoria's mom Connie's childhood friend, who was excellent at setting up good shots. The winner of our game, however, was Connie and her partner Amy. They went on to lose in the finals, where Pardis and her partner Zack came in second. Neither Pardis nor Zack had ever played before! Their prizes were croquet sets: perfect for Pardis's backyard in Claremont.

Here are pictures of Pardis' winning moves.
