My dad is in the heating and air conditioning business. The hall's ac was not working, so this photo is only funny because dad could not figure out what was wrong with the air either.

The last photo of the night.....some how we actually look a lot better than we were!

We started Saturday night out with a game. We all bought Michelle a piece of clothing to spark up some fun in the bedroom. We did not sign the card telling her who they were from. She had to guess and if she guessed wrong she had to drink till the giver told her to stop. She and I were drinking together because she did not guess correctly for the gift our mom sent for her.

Holding up the stuff I bought her

Michelle and Abby on our way to "Sunset Grill"

The group on Saturday night. Saturday nights theme was a tropical one.


Michelle's (now) husband loves ice cream. Michelle found a place named "Mike's Ice Cream"

On Sunday we tried to go to Rainforest Cafe, but it was closed due to the flooding. We stopped at "Cooters" from Duke's of Hazard.

Michelle right before leaving town. I was really tired!
