Saturday the 4th we spent the afternoon with the Oquist fam. It started with the Chino Valley JV football game to watch Justin. He is number 72, after the game started Sammy decided he needed to sit with Mike to get the low down on how the game works. It didn't last long and then he was back down playing with Lightening McQueen.
Chino ended up losing, but Justin played hard. It's fun to watch him get involved, I love going to the kids sporting events.
We then went to Mike and Janeen's for a BBQ, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm killer burgers! Then while we all digested the burger masterpieces a game of croquet broke out.We played teams and paired up each age group. Janeen/Mike, Joe/Danny, Justin/Danielle, Tyler/Kody and Lynzie/Lolo. (Liz and I just observed) Meanwhile Sammy grabbed the last mallet and played his own game. At the football game some of the kids found a water spicket and Sammy joined them in getting wet, hence the reason why he is wearing just his diaper in all the pics.
The dad's owned the game, they smoked everyone. Sammy didn't like it when a team got down to the wickets he was playing with. He would pick up thier ball and say "NO!" and move it somewhere else. lol Here is the 13 yr old team setting up the next move.
The 10 yr olds just kinda goofed around and then couldn't figure out how they were so far behind. It was always the other ones fault.
Sammy started playing croquet-ball. He would hit the ball then throw down the mallet and run, just like in baseball. He is so fun to watch and I love how he already has such a great imagination and plays so well by himself.Mike and Janeen just laugh and enjoy watching everyone battle it out.
One of the best things about hanging with the Oquists is that there is always laughter! They are some of the most sarcastic and teasing people. Kids included, we had so much fun and I think the croquet game was the best part of the day. Here Tyler is "helping" Danielle with her shot.Kody is setting up, while Joe and Danny entertain everyone else, part of why Janeen and Mike observed from the side is they could catch any cheating while no one else paid attention.
And here it is the winning stroke as Joe so loudly points out to everyone! Danny and him were hillarious together being the jerks they love to be. This is where Danielle and Kody get thier obnoxiousness from. Ornery kids!
Grandma finally stepped in to help Lolo and Lynzie.
Kody gets to send "Ole Yeller"s ball away. Janeen and Mike got the yellow mallet and ball, so they became the Ole Yeller team.
Danielle and Justin ended up 2nd, they had so much fun. They have become so enjoyable to be around, who would've thought that a 15 and a 16 yr old could be so much fun. Someday the 13 yr olds will be this way too...I hope.

Booyah! We're number 2, we're number 2.
While we waited on Ole Yeller and the other 2 teams to finish Justin tried to take down his dad. It was pretty much a draw, Joe finally said he was done. Neither one of them hit the ground, until Danny stepped in...
Justin then decided to show Kody how strong he was, I guess since he couldn't hold his own with the dads he needed to prove he could take someone down. hahahahahahaha
After the game finally ended we headed back inside for CAKE! Then Sammy asked to watch cars and the rest of us played a game of 31. BUT the 13 yr olds decided to use the pool table as a hot wheels launch ramp. When Sam discovered them he crawled over the back of the couch and joined them. I snapped this pic before Grandma turned around and caught him.
After getting caught, Sammy just poked his head through the cushions and tried to play with the big boys.
Sammy then gets attacked by Tyler and Lynzie, what else are cousins for? We had a great day, so much fun with the Oquists. Other than some pouting by the poor poor 13 yr old boys, there were no problems and the food was great!
