A petting zoo for the children, ummmm, and the adults too!
Mmmmm, chocolate cake... And some of the 30 bottles of champagne! This was the dessert to a wonderful meal of pulled pork, potatoes and salad.
Cree and Mrs. Kelly (Brendan's Grandmother) enjoying the last of the sun.
The live band, complete with 3 piece horn section and heatlamps on the back lawn.
Part of the petting zoo!
And, of course, the 10 person hottub! Man, we got that thing cooking - I think the first time we went in to test it, it was 43 degrees! Ouch!!
The ladder for the Obstiboch tournament. Obstiboch is basically bocce ball, but you are allowed to play the pallino (small white ball) anywhere you like - in trees, heavy brush, beside buildings or even on the beach. The only stipulations are that balls cannot go into the water, or touch any pavement - good fun!
The correct posture and attire for high stakes Obstiboch.
Good form! Notice the hand-eye coordination, with a slight spin upon release...
Yes! Very nice throw Jo!
Will has his own, somewhat irregular technique - but it works!
The main crowd - ahh, it was good times!
