mad hatter's tea party picnic

We attended a costume event today. It was a Mad Hatter's Tea Party Picnic, so Alice in Wonderland or Victorian costumes were the theme.


I'm the white rabbit in the middle. It's actually a hoodless rabbit suit that we rented. My wife made the dresses though.

The event included tea (including snacks), poetry reading, and games, such as croquet (with flamingos, mallets decorated with flamingos, but no hedgehogs) and caucus races.

The first caucus race group on their way back. There was only one Alice out of the entire group, who can be seen here, but there were several white rabbits and a lot of hatters. One other rabbit is in this race and another was a woman in a white dress and ears like his. That's one of the tweetle sisters on the left. The caucus race was a relay with a potato carried on a spoon.


A number of the women were very colorful Mad Hatters. My wife and daughter are on the right here.


The event was in a park in a nearby city. A neighbor of the park dropped by and left, but came back with their rabbbits. The one with the argyle sweater stood up like this often and the other wandered around the pen, being pet.
