Happy Surprise Birthday Jaron!

After a week of careful planning, the wash park crew was ready to give Jaron the surprise birthday party that he has always dreamed of. The scene included, but was not limited to...

Chili feast!

Homemade birthday cake and cornbread!

Friends who like love to party!

A cozy fire!

Football!

However, being a popular man (for good reason), Jaron already had plans to watch football in Stapleton and wasn't able to come "hang out at dah barn with Mike." This didn't stop the wash park crew from partying, though every toast was made to their wonderful yet absent 29-year-old friend.

 Technology allowed the crew to provide birthday entertainment to Jaron and all of his facebook friends via a performance of Third Eye Blind. Even Wade, a tough cookie to please, was amazed at his friend's musical inclination..,"They sounded just like the real band!"

To everyone's delight, Jaron graced dah barn with his glorious presence after the games (which we will not talk about.) Hugs and happy birthdays were exchanged. Hope Jaron had an awesome day, we love him!

Barnmates Down

Long stories short, Alicia is down and out with an injured hamstring and I separated my shoulder.  I don't know which injury has a better backstory...Alicia thinking she could jump into the splits during a danceoff at her local bar back home, or me going mach 10 down a blue (or was it a green?) and catching my edge.

One thing I know for sure, neither Alicia or I are very good at sitting around doing nothing.  Alicia already tweaked her hammy again after becoming restless and trying to workout, and I am sure I will come back from my week in Vegas with my arm hanging off after thinking I could swim in the Bellagio fountains like Schmidty.
