Pond's a bit high, eh? We've had a lot of rain lately. You may not be able to tell, but the water is covering the floor of the gazebo. (This is my dad's back yard.)
The back of the house and Dad's two-tier deck, attatching the house to the once-detatched three-car garage. Everything's set up to party!
Volleyball, anyone?
Aunt Kris, left, and Boo (Aunt Lou) on right. The growth on Boo's head is my stepmom, Pam, off in the distance. The arm in the far right is Abby, oblivious to the fact I'm taking a picture. That's OK, I'll get my revenge soon. >:-D
See? Here's is Abby's butt in all it's summer shorts-clad glory. She's bent down to scratch Spot, her cat. Oh, yeah, Abby's my little half-sister, age 14.
My cousin Katie, right, and her boyfriend Eric. Katie is Uncle Rob & Aunt Kris's oldest daughter.
OK, from front left we have Michael, my cousin Brian's partner, Brian himself, Brian's dad and my uncle Bill, Vickie (Uncle Rob & Aunt Kris's youngest daughter), and Aunt Maribeth - Bill's wife & Brian's mom.
My dad. :)
My dad nagging me about photos I took of his house at Christmas. OK, already! I'll post them today! Geez!
Pam and Uncle Rob. I have no idea what they're talking about. The surprising thing in this photo is that it's Pam talking and not Uncle Rob!
Don't make me do the left to right thing again.
Everyone's visiting, waiting for a sloppy joe lunch.
Where my shimp at? The snack spread has already been attacked.
Abby playing Guitar Hero III, bought for her by her AMAZING sister, Amanda. :)
Dad and Uncle Rob chillaxin' in the swing. Oh, and Pam's legs.
Yes, Boo, your hair has gotten really long. Will you please get it cut now?
We played volleyball. OK, we *tried* to play volleyball. This is Vickie's boyfriend, Kevin, retrieving the ball after Vickie's served it to the pond.
Ah, yet another successful fishing expedition for the ball. We didn't so much as play volleyball and we chased the ball around. Don, Tana, Brent, Shawna, and Laura would have been extremely irritated, but we had fun goofing off.
Abby and cousin Vickie hamming it up for us.
Katie and boyfriend Eric enjoying the flooded pond in the paddle boat.
Brian taking a picture of me taking a picture of Brian. How clever. Do we call this Camera Obscura, when you can't see the other's face?
Getting ready to break the law, just like everyone else around here.
Abby's assisting Uncle Rob as we're about to have our fireworks show!
More fireworks waiting for deployment. Yay!
