Click to look at the photos first if you want.

For my birthday this year we went back to a common theme for us. Interesting clothes, booze and games of sport. When I first read about The Chap Olympiad, I knew that was this years theme - in a matter of speaking. In some ways we completely ripped them off, and then did them the disservice of not doing the sports as well as they did. In other ways. . . Well, we had plenty of gin and we had a Rocket Car.

As usual Amanda did a ton to make the day special, and I really must commend our friends for going all out on the attire. Skipping down the spray-painted lanes of our backyard while trying not to spill your gin and tonic looks so much better in a waistcoat or corset. A best-dressed award would have been too difficult to give out! We only got through a few of the events (Mostly my fault as MC. I should have contracted that job out to a guest.) Again, I want to thank everyone so much for the fun, the gifts that stocked the bar and for putting up with our themed parties that have become our favorite way to celebrate special occasions with friends.
