	Phil, Jeff, Marie and Tah are dog wranglers! Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	This is one of those pictures you take of an interesting event -- in this case Jeff walking Roo -- and then you develop it and find Phil just standing there in the way. This happens quite a bit. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Adam, Tosca, Ian, Roo, Tah, Marie, and Phil around the jungle gym while Paul looks on. "I'll get them all," he was thinking. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Ian and Phil banter while trouble brews in the background: Jeff is lifting Tosca onto the jungle gym. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Jeff takes a ready and willin' Tosca down the double slide. That may or may not be an animal protection activist approaching. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	In fact it turned out to be Sean, who it was rumored had weathered a hurricane and the Paparazzi to get here. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Continuing, Adam prepares to catch Jeff and Tosca coming down the spiral slide. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Tah, in her own little world, has a pleasant conversation with Roo. Scientific Fact: Amanda Ketcham's house is beside the house behind Tah. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Presented for your entertainment, a delightful series of photos entitled "Dan's Death," staring Dan Norton as the hapless victim! Photo Credit Alisa Rowland

	Back to Jeff and Erin's, where he takes his emotions out on a bee that was troubling him with his famous Bee Bat. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Ian gives the Bee Bat a try ... Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	As does Adam. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Jeff, Paul, Shawn, Adam, Dan and Ian after an uplifting romp on the ole trampoline. Phil's back is in the foreground, in case you were wondering and I know you were. (Did anyone notice that Jeff changed his shirt?) Photo Credit Marie Jarden
	Jeff uses what is undoubtedly one of the largest knives in his kitchen to cut a pineapple that Adam is holding in half. Cristine is not amused. Photo Credit Marie Jarden
	For some reason or another, Jeff wore the severed scalp of the pineapple upon his own head. Whether it be an act of victory or otherwise we may never know. On the other hand, he may just be impersonating Don King. Photo Credit Marie Jarden
	Erin finds herself trapped between two pineapple eaters. Two dirty, dripping, pineapple eaters. And Shawn. Photo Credit Marie Jarden
	This was the cake Marie baked to commemorate the recent birthdays of Paul, Carey, and Cristine. Trivia: The poll depicted was #002, something of a favorite among certain people. Forensic scientists will note that this photo was taken at Marie's apartment. It's being placed here for relevance. Photo Credit Marie Jarden
	Ian uses his method of "forced persuasion" to prompt Paul into blowing the candles out on the cake that was 1/3 in his honor. Photo Credit Marie Jarden
	Carey, Cris and Paul blow out their candles! Important note: This is the only picture of Alisa on the entire Gopher Gathering! Photo Credit Marie Jarden
	With eating and birthday tidings out of the way the gathering shifted back to the park, with Tah leaving us for a drive back to Aurora. Well, Josh was the first to scurry down this fallen tree over the mud, and soon everyone followed like the lemmings of lore. Photo Credit Marie Jarden
	Jeff, Marie, Phil and Josh stand around in a vain effort to catch Adam should he slip while Paul strolls by. Paul looks like he should be thinking "Huh, well that's different." Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	With Adam successfully on the summit, Phil, Jeff, Marie and Josh seem proud of this accomplishment. Yeah, like they actually did anything. Adam did all the work while everyone stood around like "Glad it's not me." Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Jeff scales the top of the tube slide while Josh shimmies up the inside. Needless to say, Jeff won, but there was no real contest. Let's see Jeff go though the slide next time. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	After climbing the swingset Dan proclaimed, "I'm king of the park!" Actually he didn't, but he should have. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	To prove he was more manly than Dan, Jeff tried to climb the swings. The result is inconclusive from photo evidence, which shows Dan to be the winner. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Jeff, Marie and Erin witness the beginning of Adam's well-executed flip off the swing. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Reaching the peak of his maneuver. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Adam undergoes reentry. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	The triumphant return to terra firma. Jeff says "How he do that?" Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Due to a question on his biological position, Phil is physically dragged out of the Battle of the Sexes by Adam. Erin, Marie and Cristine cheer while Josh watches from the tire swing. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	More of Phil's fall from grace. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	The fatigue shows on Ian's face in the wake of his falling of Cristine. Josh has turned his back on the carnage, and Marie seems to be calling for help. Yes, Ian has accomplished a lot today. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no farther. And I will make them pay for what they've done! The final battle begins. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Following the climatic conclusion to the Great Battle of the Sexes, the various parties make up. Jeff hugs Erin, Ian and Cristine shake hands, and Josh stands around looking pathetic. Dan and Marie share the celebration while Adam strolls away looking troubled by this alliance. Might peace only be available at the end of a sword? Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
	Jeff, Phil and Dan relax after the conclusion of the Battle of the Sexes. There was no clear winner of the engagement, and casualties were light, but perhaps it was important ... for all mankind. Photo Credit Alisa Rowland
