RYD...

Tomorrow is Reclamation of Youth Day. RYD. It's a local holiday up here where the men of the town (or at last all of our friends who are of the male persuasion anyway) kick adulthood in the face and spend the entire day reclaiming the splendor of their youth. Isaac will be there. And Justin. And Tommy. And Jared, Mark, Jacson, Caleb, Zach, Ty...but no girls. Because when you're pretending you're six again, everyone knows you're lying if you said you actually enjoyed the company of girls.

Here's a sneak peak from a couple years ago. Do enjoy.
