John has the gigantic tent of doom, we love camping with it as in guarantees our comfort during "fire and drink" time.

That night it was just Me, John, and Mike. The next morning, it was us three and hundreds of birds.
Mike had never seen the tent set up, and I needed to dust it off, so I did the full tent regalia and had John time the setup. It took 16 minutes to put it up, and would have taken less if I remembered the corner piece direction.
Take down was 10 minutes.
The rest of the crowd showed up mid-afternoon.
We had to scavenge for food and were limited to whatever we could scrape away from the local supermarkets:
As long as you are having a birthday party, you should have a cake.
Joe had returned from China, and Maggie was doing her Dog-duties (begging for food) as if he had never left.
Maggie loves us.
The wonderful Blake and Shelby made it, I took their photo for this years christmas cards.

More write up later - I need to stretch this out as I am starving for content.
