Memorial Day Mayhem

Oh Memorial Day. Where to begin? We came home for the holiday in order to meet up with Ian's old roommates and have a little float on the river. To keep in the outdoorsy spirit, we also decided that we should camp out. This was all very last minute, and it being a holiday and all...all the camp grounds were booked. Fear not, because we, the Huff family, live in a pretty good spot when it comes to feeling outdoorsy and playing in the river. We invited the whole gang to Mom and Dad's house, had everyone set up a tent, and mimicked camping right there in the back yard. We ordered a bunch of river tubes off of the internet, took a canoe, and a couple of kayaks, and headed to the river. Oh, we also brought booze. Some of us practiced moderation, some of us did not. There are some pretty good stories from this weekend that Ian would be happy to share with you pertaining to boozing, but I will not go there. It was a nice reunion, we had a lot of fun (some of us more than others) and all in all I think we would do it again. We would like to thank Mom and Dad for letting us use their property and for being such wonderful hosts, and OP for letting us use his kayaks and canoe. Now...here come the pictures.

Excited to let the floating commence

We're in!

And we're off...

And after all is said and done, we are all still here (except Pat who is probably in the bathroom during this picture and me who is hiding behind the camera)

Special thanks to Mom for being the guest photographer for this edition. I'll be posting soon with some info on my Italy trip. This will happen as soon as I receive my info. Any time now...
