a "normal" summer evening.

So during the summer we always have lots of barbecues with both sides of our family.  One particular night, we were at my parents' house.  Things started out as they usually do...Dad took Clara out to the rim of their yard to look at the birds.  He always takes the babies out to look at birds. 

 Then things got crazy.  We started playing a particularly animated game of Tripoley!  If you haven't played that game yet, you should!  We always have a good time!  This is what we looked up to see my Dad doing mid-game...

 yeah...those are poker chips!

At the same time, we had to deal with Em and her crazy friend Charlotte being nutso across the table!  I'm shocked we didn't all pee our pants laughing at the shenanigans that night!
