Well last night we had some guests for dinner. We are sponsoring a plebe. What does that mean? Newbies here at the Naval Academy (freshmen by other University name) are called plebes. Plebes are offered the opportunity to have "sponsor parents" - folks here in the Annapolis area who are a home away from home for these students. Ken and I were of course happy to sponsor a plebe and we met ours about a week ago at the Plebe Sponsor Meet & Greet. This weekend was Plebe Parent Weekend which is the first time the parents have been able to see their kids who are plebes since they started here at USNA about 6 weeks ago. (And it's the first time the plebes have gotten any liberty - liberty being time that they are free to go do what they want but with restrictions.) Our plebe's parents and his brother came to town so we made them dinner. As an added bonus our kids - Ryan & Randy - were here this weekend too! For dessert I made a trifle....
There was just a little left so the Ham family decided that it was silly to put it back in the fridge so a little help to finish it was offered.....
Like Father.....
Like "furry child...."
Note the whipped cream on Guinness's ear and neck area! :) Not to worry there was nothing harmful to dogs in the trifle and we certainly didn't let him lick the whole thing just a little bit but he enjoyed every little bit he got!!
And then to continue with the similarities between Ken & Guinness... As my chocolate sister Cerissa can tell you when she would bring sweet treats to work and Ken would eat them everyone said he was hyper for a little bit and then a MAJOR sugar crash would set in. (This is still true - after dessert he's hyper and then he's out!) Well apparently Guinness is about the same because here's Guinness about 30 minutes post-Trifle....
