groundhog tradition

I realize once again I am behind the times, but if I worried about that then I would never post anything. So Groundhog Day is a huge tradition at our Alma Mater, The University of Dallas. It mostly consists of drinking in the woods, but it is always a really good time with great music and friends and usually a lot of mud. Here are some pictures from old Groundhogs. My apologies to anyone who doesn't want to look at these old pictures of themselves, but really you should just embrace it.

This year Zach and I thought it would be a good idea to throw our own Groundhog since our backyard still kind of looks like a muddy forest anyway. Also, we just wanted a good excuse to get some UD people together and have a party since we are not ready for an official housewarming party yet.

(Is someone peeing in the background of this picture below?)

We had a decent turnout, but I didn't get many pictures. If you hand your husband the camera when you go to put your child to bed count on only getting picture like this:

By the time Jimbo fell asleep it was raining and everyone had moved inside to the food. But it wouldn't be Groundhog without a little rain.

PS- Phil said six more weeks of winter this year.... Sorry to all you DC folks, but I will keep it being "winter" here in Phoenix.
