croquet, cakes & hacky sac.

our pals micah & rachel came to visit.
we had a lot of fun. they came to us straight from
(5 weeks on) the puerto rico beach.
*tara was a bit envious of their tans to say the least...
we played croquet.
slim & micah went to college together
and they hadn't seen each other in 7 years! 
we went to the marietta pizza kitchen and
micah taught us all how to make dollar bill rings.
then we left our creations for a waiter as a bonus tip!
we sat on the porch and ate oatmeal & eggs & fruit.
rachel & micah really love mangos.
they showed us the best way to eat them and we
ate our hearts out. seriously, we just kept eating mangos.
we bought a whole box at harry's!
then we went to the art hunt and all came home empty handed,
except raffy- she found 3 pieces. 2 toilets & a monster.
then we ventured to your dekalb farmers market 
(which is very very super busy on saturdays)
and bought a bunch of delicious foods and cakes and brews
and had a big croquet game in raffy & b & lyric's backyard.
we all took turns using their new push mower.
rachel & jared made up the black (and purple) team.
i think jared just naturally started to have an
australian accent (just like rachel).
they were a fierce & fabulous team.
lea & tara made up the red (and chaco) team.
they liked to call themselves team honesty...
(insert sassy face that says "girl please")
raffy & i were the orange (graphic tshirt) team- also known as
THE WINNERS!
croquet is really fun.
a nice simple game that can easily & quickly become violent.
the boys were all teamed up too..
micah & b were the golden boys, yellow team
and slim & jeff were the green j's team.
they were both the 1st to finish the course and the 1st to 
knock each other out with their poison balls.
even lyric got in on the fun as she played caddy!
levine-hunt's mean muggin.
after hours of crochet and light beers we started on dinner.
we made delicious burritos, guac, smushed plantains & had cake.
then we all did party tricks and played hacky sac & hugged.
then next morning slim, micah & rachel took off for the farm.
the plan is for all 3 of them to ride their bikes and have fun.
micah & rachel are riding all the way home, to new hampshire.
slim is going to ride with them as far as he can.
(before his spring break is over and has to join the real world again)
bon voyage!
