Male Bonding Time

Two weekends ago, Dale, Zeke, and I went to visit Josiah at CNU for Family Day. For the second year in a row, Gabe was not in attendance as he had a birthday party to be at. (Since 2nd grade, Gabe has had a group of friends that have consistently hosted “no girls allowed” parties. Gabe’s friends are now all freshman in high school. This years party was a guy/girl bonfire and when the mom told me about it, she sighed and said, “I guess it’s started.”)

Once again, we attended the music concert at CNU which was awesome as always. My favorite part was when we were surrounded in the auditorium by the 150+ strong pep band. They all played with such enthusiasm, and the surround sound was terrific.

We toured Josiah’s new dorm suite and met his laid back suite-mate. (Josiah’s suite is 3X larger than Abby’s dorm room.) We walked to Ritas for shaved ice and custard. Dale bought a CNU Dad shirt to go with his Bridgewater Dad shirt. I still refuse to wear a college logo mom shirt declaring “I am so old I have kids in college.” Vanity, I suppose.

The entire day was beautiful, and consisted mostly of having a picnic and throwing a frisbee. I took the pictures and handed out the lunch. Zeke declared it male bonding time. Unfortunately, Gabe missed out on male bonding time, and may continue to find it scarce as his friends are drawn away by the smell of perfume.
