backyard barbecues

This past Saturday, we celebrated Joel's 28th birthday! Gina made some bomb diggity cake that the birthday boy didn't get to enjoy until the end of the night (see last photo). We had a cornhole tourny and put up slack line(the red line Gina is tugging at). Drew, the brave one, decides to "try it out" and on his first try walking across, he falls onto a rock, scrapes up his arm and "breaks his tailbone"...still isn't sitting normal. J& G's landlords came with there kids (I am holding Colbie). The celebratory cigars and libations were also part of the night...enjoy photos!

Memorial Weekend

Yes, we had another posting drought...I apologize for my "loyal reader" ie my mother! I had no idea that people in Colorado went water skiing / tubing / have rope swings... I thought that fun was left to the true mid-westerners. I was mistaken. We went to our buddy, Ben F's lake for memorial weekend and went boating!

me then drew on the swing

 the dogs totally enjoyed it too, of course!
