UN Party

Last night, we went to Toby and Karla's UN Party. Yes, I said UN party. Toby and Karla like to take the minor holidays and throw parties for them. Everyone has a 4th of July party, but not too many people have a Groundhog's Day party, but Toby and Karla did. Yesterday was UN Day, so Toby and Karla had a party. Everyone had to choose a country in the UN, bring a beverage from that country and optionally dress in the attire of that country. Toby claimed to be from Estonia. Pretty scary, huh? His coworkers were trying to get him to were the mohawk to work on Monday. I don't think Chesapeake is a mohawk kind of company.

Brent was Canada...scary thing is that the hat was the only piece of this outfit that Brent did not already own.

I was Jamaica. If you look very closely on the right side of my head, you can see the beaded braid. Fun times!

Backyard Olympics

Yesterday, we went B's (Ryan and Alex Buersmeyer's) party over at Alex's house (actually his brother Adam owns it, but Alex claims it as he pays a small amount of rent for his room). The day included football game watching, and "Backyard Olympics." The backyard had a variety of games set up, even one that Ryan invented involving two poles, two bottles and frisbee. I did not attempt that one. Alex grilled us up some burgers, which were actually pretty good. :)

All and all a fun party, and Brent and I even beat Toby and Karla at the bean bag toss game.
