The Fifth

A few photos from my trip this past weekend to La Quinta -

Melissa came down with me and Alyssa was able to do what I've never been able to... get Missy to sit still for a picture...

I was lucky enough to plan the trip when Oms and Ops were going to be down, so I got to hang with them, too which was nice... Here's the whole gang minus Jamus (he was feeling a little under-weatherly) after Carson's basketball game, where they were only narrowly defeated by 18...

It was also Carson's birthday while I was down - he had planned on having an airsoft gun war, so I bought one and joined in the festivities with all the 12-13 year-olds...

I didn't want to spend too much money, so I ended up buying a kit that had a single shot rifle and pistol, which were fine except that all the other kids had fully automatic weapons... And no, I could not compete... As you can see by the evidence...

I took two at close range to the chest during our last game, giving me two nubbins in addition to my regular nipples... Enjoy the pictures of pain...

And then of course came the pizza... and the contemplative pizza poses... staged and otherwise...

It was a great trip overall and I can't wait to get back - the next time you ask? That would be May 25, or as we like to call it, "Angels Garden Gnome Extravaganza!"
