We had such an awesome time at the lake house... Got in late in the evening, with a full on police escort... Again...

You know it's gonna be a good night when you pull into the party with three cops behind you... Good times.
So aparently since the last three run ins, Autumn has yet to fix those pesky headlights and tail lights... So in the usual fashion, we make it the entire way to the house sans incident only to see flashing lights in mass quantities as we park the car...
It is even more entertaining, since we totally called it...
I know it is no shock to be pulled over for lights but Autumn and I specifically practiced for the event... I had her work on her shocked expression on the way out and have to admit it was a bit of bad acting on her part when it was her turn to lay on the charm.
I have never heard a less convincing, "What?? Oh my god... Really??" in my life.
No one was buying it... and the kids at the party were so removed from the event that they didnt even walk away from the fire long enough to make an appearance.

So after we convinced the three squad cars to mozy on their way we were free to join the festivities.

I had my usual 2 drinks to the never tiring taunting of Owen, who is still mildly impressed and shocked by my lack of drinking over the years. He always just assumed I was a lush like the rest of the crew and has been fixated on my social habits ever since.

So after a lovely barbeque and extended evening around the fire where Autumn and Steve broke everything that wasn't tied down... A few chairs, a bucket, some other random things that were better off in pieces... Throwing eachother down on the ground one time after the next... Followed by the funniest swimming crew I have ever seen... With Steve in his Green American Apparel underware and the rest of the boys in various other outfits amounting to little more than nothing... And Owen, who actually put on a wet suit... Too funny... I have so many pictures it is not even funny...

Great times... Very cold but awesome...

And in the morning, we broke into the neighbors place and stole their paddle boat... Excuse me, "Comendeered" (Nautical Term) and crused all over the lake, testing the durrability of everyone's slides and such... It was so cold... and I was very proud of myself to have joined in on the excitment... So after thuroughly exposing myself to hypothermia and coming to peace with the cold I really went all out... I took my hand at taking flips off the dock with the trampoline and Steve graced us with his olympic style diving tricks, and did some impressive flips off the tower...

So cold, and I did so many back flops I couldn't move...

Then off to the jeeps... We had over 4 for the crew... And off to what they referred to as the "creek" which was a damn river... don't let them try to fool you... So I dont know how, I ended up on top of the jeep as we went crashing through the river, screaming my head off and clinging to the rack for dear life... it was a great time... Finally as the threat of being hit by a number of trees became a reality I had the opportunity to throw myself back through the window into the car...

We had a great time...
Toby, everyone's favorite Boxer/Pit (who is famous for biting a police officer) had a great time attacking everyone at the fire... It was the cutest thing... Owen got poor Toby all riled up and the next thing you know Owen is yelling and laughing his head off as Toby Nibbles/chomps on his head through his hoodie...

Other than that, just the usual...
When deciding how many were joining us for breakfast we applied the cockroach equation: (We could see 5 people... so we knew there were at least ten more passed out in the bushes) and we were right on...
