I remember as a kid playing a lot of croquet. Our family built a croquet court in our front yard (which faced the lake) in Betteravia when I was 5 or 6 years old. The whole neigborhood would come to play.
I remember one year Dad and I were staying at a very ritzy resort in Palm Springs where we had the most beautiful gorgeous pool all to ourselves. After 10 years of going to Carmel for my birthday we switched places, and stayed in very nice condos and apartments until we bought our motor home. Anyway this place was a splurge for us...very exclusive. It had beautiful lawns and one day the local Croquet Society had their tournament. As we watched and as they played the whole sprinkler system went off!!! What a hilarious scramble of people in impeccable white clothes....
Also the games of croquet here in our back yard...the kids still have fun!!!
