We had a blast this year! We upped our attendance record to 63. John and Natalie brought our youngest attendee, 8-week old Skylar.

We shattered attendance records this year -- 56 participants! We had plenty of beer, but needed 2 corndog runs. No triple-doubles this year, but again the kids were strong!

We had 34 -- a new record -- this year, including 14 children (41%)!

We had no t-d's, I peaked at 5-7-10+ (I'm always good for the last piece). But we have a new first -- EVA MAUDAL ATE MORE CORNDOGS THAN HER AGE!!!

The hour was late. Charlie -- our half beagle, half undead-food-finder -- had seen dozens of corndogs eaten without spill or careless exposure.

The next wave brought the full expected chaos level to ENCD3. Natalie and John brought Jetta, their lab pup, to play with Charlie -- they had fun but Charlie won "grab a corndog right out of a kid's hand" by the score 1-0.

The Schofields and the Fenns brought the kid factor high - so we pulled out the full backyard arsenal of balls, bouncie castle, swingset. Is this the first NCD Bouncie Castle? Surely Matt Gray would have been hospitalized by now if not.

Wave 1

First timers were first in line, and got to watch the X men almost take out Ohio State.

Geoff, Jojo, Maddie and Mackenzie took in the game and a fistfull of 'tots.

The chaos and consumption -- the high highs, the low lows, it's just like NCD 1998 but instead of college kids it's toddlers. The cycle of life continues.

Another family-friendly NCD in Encinitas, Zoe's 3rd and Mia's 1st!

We're getting a later start this year, people are showing up at 3 and we'll Tivo the UCLA game.
