5-Year Anniversary + Croquet

1//Eleven is kind of our special number. We started dating on April 11, 2008, and got married on November 11, 2011. So, I woke up to eleven red balloons, and a dozen roses. 

2//It was such a special morning.

3//We ordered a vintage croquet set on Etsy from 1960. I used to play all the time when I was a kid growing up in Maryland. This was Jason's first time playing, and he really enjoyed it. I think we are going to spend more afternoons like this.

4//Yours truly.

5//Clever boy, trying to knock my ball out of the way.

6//We ended up playing until the sun went down, so our afternoon picnic turned into a moonlit one.

7//Best app ever.

♥ Have you ever played croquet before? What's your favorite app?

  1. You guys are too cute! Sounds like the perfect day -- a croquet date that turns into a moonlit dinner! So great! I've never played croquet, but I've always wanted to!

  2. Fun! Happy Anniversary. I've played croquet but never followed the rules. I don't think I even know what the rules are! But I think it's lots of fun.

    1. Thank you! We followed a few rules (only the ones I remembered) and then kind of made it up as we went along. I think it's more fun that way ;)
