Graduation Time

We stopped by to celebrate both mother's day and Jordy's upcoming graduation. Since we were going to meet up with Uncle Frank and Aunt Martha at Karen's place, we decided this would be a good time to give him the blue crabs we had stashed in the freezer (crabs mentioned below).

We also got Jordy a couple of gifts. After a little recon work to discover he has a serious interest in the game of chess and a casual interest in the TV series; The Simpsons, we decided to get him a chinese chess set (with instructions printed from the internet) and a Simpsons Operation game too. I told him the Operation game is to help him develop steady hands so his opposition won't be able to anticipate a questionable move from his hands shaking...

Here we are, discussing some of the finer points of the chinese chess game.

After hanging out at the townhouse for a while, the group moved to the pool nearby. This is a shot of all of the kids hitting the water at the same time.

When the pool became a bit boring for the kids, the group then moved over to a nearby water slide park of which Karen is a member. We bothered the kids for another group shot again. Hey, what's with the funny hand signals?

Hi Karen! Congrats on Jordy's Success.

And last but not least, hello Sharon. Have I got a story about little Janie (probably didn't spell that right) and a can of Sprite soda that grew legs and took a walk around the house. Too funny...
