Chippee, my little bro, graduma-tated this weekend so we went down to our hometown to share in the celebrations. What started as a simple visit turned into something more interesting.

We went to the Moondance Ranch for dinner, squeezing of the kid-lets and dice with their family. (You can see pictures of the cute-ness in Flickr).

All a blast as always! However, as we left, things turned weird. At midnight we decided we had better go stay with Dad since we weren't going to stay there Saturday night. I didn't call and let Dad know but this is a man who one time had to find his house keys before a long trip because he hadn't used them in so long he had no idea where they were. So I figured the house would be unlocked and there would be no fear of the guns sitting beside both Bro & Pops bed.

We got there at 1:00 a.m. and no such luck. No one answered, all doors were locked (so I thought) and we had no other options. Thinking it would be fun, we decided to just "camp out" in the car. That was all well and good until 2:30 a.m. when I had to pee and we were so uncomfortable I was tempted to sleep in the adjacent field.

We passed the time by roaming around the grocery stores in town looking like a couple stoners scavenging for food.

The next morning when Dad finally woke up and came out he could not believe it.

Chip's graduation was later that day and we got to spend a ton of fun times with the fam-damily. Ending it with some dinner and shopping with the T's.

Today we're cooped up in the A/C because in true Midwest fashion it's turned 90 degrees after being 50 last week. Time for a BBQ and central air!
