For those who may be unfamiliar with the customs of Mayday, some background is in order: Mayday is the first day of May and lasts all 24 hours. The objective is to deliver goodies to your friends' front porch, ring the doorbell, and get away undetected. Read about our day on my brother's blog.
Here are some pictures that I took of my siblings keeping watch on Mayday.
Michael, radio in hand, patrols the front yard. (Great outfit, yes? The object on the front of his backwards tricorn is a Jolly Roger.)

Diligent Rebecca watched the front door.
Mayday is a blast...a holiday like NO other. :) When else do you get to have one long massive game with your friends--including codes, radios, cars, stakeouts at night, and cookies?

LOL! Sounds like you all had a blast!
We heard that if you get caught, the person who catches the individual delivering flowers, must then proceed to kiss the giver. Is this true, do you know?
BAG! It looks like you had the whole plan... er uumm.. Planed?.. but only in advance.. like some sort of pre-plan..
(can you have a pre plan?, or is it just a plan?)
Nice pictures..
Those water balloons look a lot nicer just sitting there, instead of flying through the air at me.
:D

Steve,
I liked them better when they were flying at you. I actually like you better then too.

Cheri, that may be true in some traditions...I'm not sure. The way we do it, though, it's more like a giant capture-the-flag game. :)
