We got back from Portugal and the croquet tournament weekend started right away.  On Sunday night Campbell came out for the hamburger supper, and he tried croquet for the first time.  He was a natural and was really better than the four-year-old (Fletcher) that he spent some time playing with.  Dad and Papa Doc watched to make sure he wasn’t going to hurt the court, but he was really good.  His golf swing definitely helped.  We were all very proud, especially with all the ooohs and aaahs we heard from the other people who were watching and couldn’t believe how good he was!

The next day he came back out and tried again and started trying to hit between his legs – and even made a wicket or two.  Watch out PMC!  🙂

We got to have some fun pool time also on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning (that still counts as part of the weekend, right)?  Swim lessons didn’t go so great, and Campbell got a little scared of the pool.  So we tried to ease him in and get him to have fun.  You’d never know he was reluctant from these pictures.  He loved playing with his watering can, having dad blow water at him from a pool noodle, and playing in his “boat,” and even jumping off the side at the end.  And, more of the same (though still a little scared) on Wednesday morning before we left.

And, here’s Campbell being silly hiding in the dryer as we were packing up to go home.  🙂
