The Parents Are Here! The Parents Are Here!

How does MiddBlog know?

1. It is impossible to drive through town.
2. There is no available parking on-campus.
3. I have had 2.5 brushes with death while crossing the street.
4. There has been a sudden increase of people aged 40-65 and the student to faculty ratio has not improved.

H'ok so. Now that you have successfully completed Steps 1-5, as outlined below, you have to figure out what to do with the family over the next 72 fun-filled hours. That is a long time, my friends, and MiddBlog is here to help.
