Since we don't check ID and verify your home address anymore, I suppose you can be grandfathered in...

That'll work since I'm a grandfather.

I thought that's why Larry took pictures was to check plates and see who snuck in from out of the area.

George, you are always included as one of "us". No need for you to sneak in.

Well, along those same lines, we are going to be up to our eyeballs in grandbabies tonight (pray for us!)... we will probably bring them to Rosa's for dinner, then Linda can bring 'em back here for showers and all that stuff.

Heck, if the GTG can survive whatever-the-he**-that-was-last-week, it can surely survive Kiera and Caleb (oh, but maybe not if they are there at the same time).

Hey Rob:
I think there is a hose connection in the drive thru area. Just bring soap and a hose and West can strap them to the luggage rack and cruise around till they are dry! They'll have a great story to tell when they get home!

You can tell I'm not a grandfather yet.

Too late, my man... I am the very picture of efficiency... we've already got all the homework and both showers done!

Woo hoo...

Despite the threat (And ulitmately the arrival ) of a quick shower.. it was a nice evening with some new and old friends.


Check Out Elio's new tires ...


A little friendly "ballcap" rivalry here ...


Love the Graphics...



Another C4 night and the gathering storm




Yes that is Jim's car back there...



After the rain...


Indoor shots...not so hot ...should have cranked up the ISO




Rob Linda, Caleb & Kiera... They all behaved very well , except maybe Rob
