Am hosting my 23 year old son and 12 of his male and female friends at our lake house.  This is an annual event that is always filled with significant male stupidity with the young ladies looking on with a mixture of general bewliderment, disgust and awe but all in good fun.  So if you are in Sandy Creek this weekend stay away from us.  They can't ski very well.  They drink bad beer. And most of them will not wear enough sunscreen and will get burned to a crisp.  All good young men and women and we will be at mass in Alex City at 9am on Sunday.  And the girls sleep upstairs and the boys downstairs.  

The weekend usually starts with them showing up in dribs and drabs on Friday.  Saturday after breakfast we hit the lake for skiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing and jet skiing.  Stop for lunch on the boat and then an afternoon of me destroying them on the tubes.  Saturday night we will do beer butt chicken on the grill and if they have the energy a quiet night cruise where one of the guys plays his guitar.  Then I will leave them to play ping pong and XBox in the basement and hang out.  Sunday mass and then a late breakfast and then back on the lake.  Strangely day two never involves tubing as they seem to lack interest.......or maybe its the bruises and burns on their elbows......  :-)   A few of them will want to ski, etc. but mostly we will find a quiet cove to float and hang out.  By 3pm they are all dead tired and ready to go home to get some rest.  Then I will stay Sunday night to clean up and do laundry and generally recover from the fun.
