Van Van Van

Van's Birthday! Love the tradition of spending the holiday weekend with a whole mess of people to celebrate Van. It is always so much fun, and this year did not disappoint!

Van is 29. Again. (and again and again)

Van decided to take the paddle board out for a spin.
Doing well. Doing well.
How do I turn around????

Whew, made it back! (nice guns vannie)

Lynn meant to fall off. Really, she did. Yup.

Diva In Training.
Booze cruise?
Randi has the right idea!
Partying is an exhausting endeavor.
Cooper eating. Has anyone not seen him eating?
The happy couple.
Triple'tastic.
Gina taking a snooze....
Is she dreaming that she is holding her beer?

Can't talk about the weekend without taking a moment for a shout-out for the chefs! Lori, did any meat stay on the bone? Perfect with liquid heroin! And Glenn made shrimp-eaters out of seafood-haters, so that is quite a freakin' feat! So many more culinary masterpieces were enjoyed. We are a lucky lucky group.

A few themes that carried us through the weekend were remembered not because we retained anything, but due to Van's brilliant idea to take a pad/pen out to the fire on Friday night.

Here are the highlights:

- Do you EVER know what you're talking about?

- Hues Corporation (who would name a group 'hues corporation')

- Take off your pants!!!!

- What happened to the marshmallow? I don't see it, but can smell it!

- P.M. & Ns

- Start here and feel all the way up

- HIGHLAND DOMINOS

- Nature's television

- Peaches Maria

- "MMMHWLOSOQLEAIANWO" (maria w/5 mallows in her mouth)
