Malapolooza 2006

Tomorrow is a big day for my husband. It’s MALAPALOOZA!!! And, sadly, it might just be the very last one.

Ok, so let me try to explain Malapolooza with the help of some photos from the most recent one in 2006. (We sort of count our wedding as Malapolooza 2008! )

Malapolooza begins around noon. Mal and a few friends gather at his parents’ house to begin setting up and “decorating.”

There was talk of a wet t-shirt contest, but it never happened.

Setting up for Malapolooza includes chilling beers in coolers…

And impromptu slip-n-slides!

It was much too hot to work!

Malapolooza also includes lots of activities and games.

Including Polish Horseshoes…

Volleyball…

Swimming…

And lots of debauchery!

At Malapolooza, there is plenty of delicious food…

And no shortage of adult beverages!

When it gets dark outside, everyone sets up their tents and hangs out by the fire.

People toast marshmellows…

Anyway that they can!

They play the guitar and sing songs…

Act like fools…

And cause trouble!

(Poor Jim got thrown in the pool!)

The next morning, everyone packs up and goes home…

Usually a tad hungover!

I can’t wait for tomorrow! I hope that the last Malapolooza goes out with a bang!
