2016-05-08 boccia

Boccia is the Italian version of "boules", "bowles" or "pétanque" in which the objective is to put his own balls as close to a smaller target ball (pallino), or knock away the opponent balls from pallino

Fun day with my family. We celebrated my mum and my sisters (mums) on this mothers day in the forest. Having a fire and grilled stuff on it, played badminton and as you can see "boccia".
