I know I know, you’ve been sitting around this holiday weekend just waiting for me to put these up. Nathan won’t stop talking about going camping, so, we’ve decided to go camping next weekend which is pretty much, well, aside from surfing the internet like my most favorite activity ever. And now I have a side kick that LOVES going through gear, and going and buying glow sticks at the 100Y store and making sure everything has batteries. Its been a bit of a project because the last time we went camping was….Labor Day weekend 2004, so…uh, things needed a cleaning. All our gear has been in our mold facility “storage area” since we moved to Japan (also- WTH?…it would appear we umm, didn’t wash everything from the last time we went?….nice griddle with scrambled egg remnants from 5 years ago. Neat.) Anyway- we’ve been busy plotting and planning all weekend which has meant that I’ve spent more time perusing REI (as IF something would even get here by this weekend) and less time putting up pictures. Furthermore, I cut the hell out of my finger (first time EVER) the day of the party. And now that that has stopped throbbing, tonight I decided to peel a layer off of my pinky with a vegetable peeler and it won’t. stop. bleeding. PC told me I was done in the kitchen. Ok. So, I have no more excuses now. Here are the pictures.

We had a good time monkeying around, it was a small neighborhood crowd which was just about the right speed for a 1yr old. Everyone was a fan of the quiche, french toast and fruit but the big seller was “monkeys in a blanket.”

You may note they are not quite in order. Ya can’t have everything folks.
