Don’t give the drunk people a camera.
Casey and I went up to New Hampshire again this weekend, for a 60th birthday party for his uncle. It was western-themed, as you can tell by the number of occurrences of ridiculous straw cowboy hats in the pictures below.
(Casey’s cousin, Jesse and his girlfriend, Sandy)
I decided to just go with a general country kind of outfit but Casey wore his cool western- ish shirt and he looked really cute.
I look like a dweeb in that picture… and like I have no hair. Casey sporting my sunglasses.
Casey and cousin, Jed. Yes, that is really his name- wasn’t made up to go with the theme.
We were very fascinated by our sunglasses. It was very entertaining.
And the hats.
I am not sure how it happened (but this sure didn’t help)…
…but we both drank a bit too much and we ended up losing Casey’s mom (who was our ride back to where we were supposed to stay that night) and we went back to the campground with Casey’s cousins and their girlfriends. It was fun but I have the nasty feeling today that I embarrassed myself… even though I can’t remember anything particularly incriminating. (I did fall walking back to the cabin but I have weak ankles, was wearing wedges, walking on uneven ground, and it was pitch black. Also, I burst into tears because Casey’s mom was going to be very mad at us- and she was- but Casey insists that I recovered pretty quickly. Gah.)
Spent a very uncomfortable night sleeping on a twin vinyl mattress mattress with no sheets or pillow, squishing poor Casey against the wall. Ahhhh.
It took us ages to get home (4 hours instead of the normal 2.5) because there were stupid people in front of us who liked to look at stuff on the side of the road. Are you familiar with these people? It is quite a phenomenon that I still don’t understand. No one I have ever talked to will admit to rubbernecking (god, how I hate that word) but somehow everyone does it. Except me.
Okay, this wobbly head needs to hit the hay. Yeehaw.

It definitely sounds (and looks) as though you guys had a fabulous time -even if you can’t remember some of it! And I am sure that you didn’t embarrass yourself at all!
Also I love that little green tie top that you are wearing in the photos! It looks great on you.

You can’t go wrong with a party that involves straw cowboy hats. Looks like you had a blast – despite potential embarassing moments.

looks like a good time was had by all!

Looks like you had a good time, at least. Too much drinking or not. I love the western-themed party too. Cowboy hats and alcohol equals good times.

That is a fun night. Even one person on a twin mattress is way too many…

Hee hee!!! Love the theme…cowboy hats and beer-PERFECT! I’m sure there were no embarassing moments to be had!

Despite the tears, vinyl matresses, and possible embarassing moments, it sounds like you two love birds had a great time.
Here’s to scratchy hats and beer

You guys are so fabulous in those pictures. I love a good theme party!

Hey! A grumpy mom is totally worth it, especially if someone got to wear a sheriff’s badge! Looks like a lot of fun!

Embarrassing moments are the best parts!
Looks like you guys had a blast!

Hee hee… you look so cute in that hat. Kinda like Woody… Did Casey write his name on the bottom of your shoe?

Western themed, huh? I like it.
I loved themed parties for adults. One of these days Randy and I are going to throw a “heavy metal/big hair” party
