We're back!!!!!!
Hidi ho good bloggers, Dan Flippo here with the 1st installment of this years blog for parents to helicopter their way into their college kids lives and see what they are doing at least once a week.
Consider this one of your arsenal in spying on your young family members who are spending your money far away from you.
First of all we have some repeat offenders, Jacob and Mark. They are excited and ready to eat.
Angie is hosting the young ladies well, I like to take pictures so that I don't actually have to talk to people.
Prosper is here filling out his name tag, yes we did name tags. Mostly for the old people to remember names.
Luke on the right is sporting a fencing injury, you should ask him about it.
I think Angie is laughing at Jerry who is justifyably proud of his world famous lemonade he brought.
This year we have a great group of post grads who are helping with the food and with hosting the kids.
Last week these people went above and beyond in getting to know the college gang.
Jerrynade is very tasty and I may have drank several gallons over the weekend.
This is what I call "The awkward stance while waiting for the girls to go through the line first" pose, they are gentlemen but they are also hungry.
We were expecting a ton of people so we made hot dogs and Mac and cheese.
What can I say, Miss Neil is excited about being in the blog.
Miss Sites, on the right, is also excited to be in the blog.
Taryn on the left is ..... well not sure.
I am very proud of this candid photo of her and may have to bring it back occasionally.
Is she doing a tonsil check? what is she doing?
Lauren is not excited to be in the blog but she will get over it, I think she likes it when I take her picture.
Sarah brought her friend Honna (spelling?) all the way from Japan to eat our hot dogs. and to be in the now world famous Dinner with the Flippo's blog.
Notice the near soup-kitchen size pan of hot dogs we have, we had a lot left over so Judah's small group met later and ate the rest.
I am really unsure of what Eric is doing here, could be a tortilla? a dirty sock? a skinny cat?
Elijah Prosper and Judah waiting patiently. Elijah is contemplating what to write on his name tag. He just announced that he is getting married this Summer, Elijah for a wedding gift have some hot dogs!
Here is Honna getting her name tag, I wonder if they do this in Japan.
The whole time I was around her I was singing the Mr. Roboto song from styx, in my head of course. Cause it would be rude to sing domo ori gato Mr. Roboto to a Japanese person.
I have taken diversity and sensitivity training many times and know to only think things about people and not actually say them.
It is so good to be around this young man again and his big smiling face. Welcome back Braden! I did catch him in a rare moment when he wasn't surrounded by girls. He is near the Mac and cheese though.
It was a little warm but we ate outside like real American's.... Americans a hundred years ago.
So my dog Chewie really doesn't like Jerry so this is him lowering his standards I guess. or Jerry smelled like hot dogs? Notice how Chewie is leaning away from him.
We had the indoor non Americans, they were busy using chat GPT to find out their coloring. Which is interesting that they are asking AI to pick their clothes for them. I bet the Boomers will have something to say about this.
I am a Fall by the way, which I already knew.
Earth tones are really boring. I also just realized that Hawaiian shirts are not in the coloring map, I guess they would be Spring?
Ahh Jerry well on your way to being adopted.
BTW
That is By the way to all you Larpers
the next picture is of our grandchildren, yes notice the plural.
Or it could be an old world war 2 photo of an island in the pacific, we shall see.
and here are some memes I sent to the kids.
