monday night cookout

every monday night during the summer all the IV goers/IV alumni that are left in Wilmington get together for dinner. due to being really busy with school i'd only gone to one of them before last night. The idea was that we would go to a different person's place every week but really we've just been flip flopping back and forth between 2 different apartments. so it was decided that last night we'd go to the seahawk village (where i am living next year) clubhouse/pool and grill out. it was a good call.

too bad i don't like watermelon, this looks fun

fellas. matt is realllllyyy into that watermelon

at the grill

yummm

he just threw the football, but given his stance and his work clothes, i think he looks like hes taking a stroll in like a musical from the 20s

i think we all felt the splash from that one

water elephant?

chillin' by the pool

i had some of that chicken. oh man it was good.

well aren't we a colorful group

and then there was awhile where a bunch of people tried to stick their fists in their mouths. not entirely sure why.... i chose not to participate due to a certain jaw surgery that left my mouth to not open very wide, a quality that was definitely ensure my failure in this game.

photo booth fun

My new computer has a built in camera and a bunch of photo effects. Needless to say I've had fun with that.
