We just pulled into the parking lot.

Liquid Courage

It comes in the form of Jack Daniels, in case you were unaware.

Nervous

No...I didn't eat Plastic Jesus.

I just needed to hang on to him for a second.

YellowBear, along to save the day...

YellowBear...lookin' pumped!

What's wrong with this picture?

Ah, yes. The friar is missing his cape.

Getting to know one another.

Getting closer...

pleading for my safety.

Just Chillin

with a giant stone friar.

Scoping out the situation

Plastic Jesus had to ride somewhere...

The Cape

Made from a fine bed sheet.

Quite a large cape...

for a large gentleman!

Tying it on like a ninja.

I had to put it somewhere while I was climbing

Rally, rally, rally!

The first try.

What the $@#! am I supposed to do?

It's just so hard!

The shoes aren't working...

let's try to go up barefoot.

Getting my toes into those little grooves was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be.

I can't seem to get any further than this. Grrr...

What in the world am I going to do?

I love this picture.

Time for a break...

Plastic Jesus' photo opp.

Rainbow Bright,

looking on lovingly.

Getting Closer.

I just happen to like this one...

This one too...

I can smell success...thanks to Yellowbear!

It was at this juncture when I realized that I was not as tall as I thought I was and came close to defeat. But to my rescue came YB who graciously let me stand on his shoulders while he hoisted me up our friar's fine shoulder.

WOOT!

I could have sat there all day.

The view was rather amazing.

Plastic Jesus perched atop his head...

he thought that the view was nice too.

For a brief glimmer in time, I was the King of the World!

How am I going to attach this dang cape?

Sometimes big ears are a bonus.

Just about got it.

Victory is mine.

Arghhh

No one can defeat the combined powers of Rainbow Brite and Yellowbear!

Not even an enormous friar.

Lookin rather dapper

Hmmm....I think Yellowbear is touching his butt!

Yellowbear...giving us the thumbs up.

Makin sure it's just right.

Ahh... The power of two.

It's good to have a best friend who is just as crazy as you!

I think I'll have some of this fine victory coffee.

Thanks IHOP.

Check that one off the list!

We should have pancakes.

The next day...

LadyBug got out there and took some daytime pictures for us.

Nothing like wearing a cape in morning.

Peeking through the trees.

Spectacular.

He looks thrilled if you ask me.

Do you think that fence is there so he doesn't escape?

Up close and personal

You could even see it from the freeway!

Ahhh....glorious.

It was the perfect fit.

Baller...Maybe even corporate!

Oh, so that's where he's pointing...
