The 4th

Sorry it's taken me awhile to get these on here. It's quite a daunting task to sit and go through all the pics I took and choose the right ones, then devote enough time to get them uploaded. But here they are. Let the record state that no matter how hard you try, pictures of card games all tend to look alike. So I just tried to get shots of various things that went on.

Uncle Butch and Aunt Tammy's house is really great for entertaining a large group of people, and they are fabulous hosts. I really enjoyed being around everybody, and it was especially fantastic to see Aunt Kelli and Uncle Steve again. (boy am i glad i didn't bring howard; i do still sleep with him every night, but he doesn't come on vacations for fear of losing him) Anyway, the one picture I wish I had was the sand sculptor. We completely forgot to go back and look at it, and the first time through I didn't have my camera.

Two of the bestest aunts in the world.


This is Avril doing a beach ball impression. She had such a great time that whole weekend, she still asks for me to sit with her and look at the pictures...again...and again...and again.


It's Michael, Avril's favorite napping buddy! Some of the only times in her life she requests to sleep is when Michael is around.


Proof of the cheating that took place!


Not really sure who's having the better time here.


The men just gravitate toward any toy that requires gasoline. The neighbor had a remote controlled airplane and it was pretty cool.


I love this picture - they look like soldiers.


Here's Josh, Missy's main squeeze.


I had to get a shot of Beanbah with a basketball in her hand. She actually beat out several of the guys, I'm not lying.


She loves older men who give her attention. The read to her and give her food - it's a beautiful relationship.


Missy. (love the long hair by the way)


General card-playing. This is typical when they're in their natural habitat.


Avril loves Missy.


We all love Grape too.


Just like this picture.


Alex had a blast.


Lounging. The best part of vacation.
