Homefield advantage
The plan worked, we arrived early enough to let me change the oil on the truck, after a few adult beverages, I had to let it cool down after all. After a tasty dinner, we were entertained by the boys dancing to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Tyler looked a little like Ray Charles as he had borrowed my sunglasses. I really did try a few times to capture a good shot, but laughing, with a beer in one hand, the one at right was the best I was able to capture before the song was over. Once the boys were tucked into bed, we started up some friendly competition, or something one might call competition. They pulled out the lights and their cornhole set(beanbag/tailgate toss in some regions) and they dominated. We tried to give them a good game for the first one, but whether it was that they had just played at the Cowboys game a day earlier or whether it was their set.....it could be that they're just way better. Apparently, the tailgates we play at are the minor leagues. We were skunked in the next game and had a poor showing in the third. At 0-3 we decided our chances werent any better, so we challenged them to a game of pool, and the tide turned. We went 3-0 and decided that a split of the games was a good place to stop. We traded some stories and stayed up late, especially for a weekday when they're both working. All in all, a fantastic time. We're already trying to plan a trip back. Now its on to New Orleans, the land of Hurricanes, Jumbalaya, Beignets, and Chicory Coffee...aka a good time.
