We had an amazing long weekend! We went swimming with friends on Friday, to the zoo with friends on Saturday, and to the best pool/pot luck/fireworks/outdoor movie party ever with family and friends on Sunday. Then Chris and I went away to celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary in Asheville NC for a few days. Our actual anniversary isn’t until Saturday but I’m in school all day so we won’t really get to see each other.
Here are some pictures from the long weekend.
No goats were actually kissed in the making of this image.
The twins were kind enough to make room for our boys in their patriotic swagger wagon.
Bennett and his namesake chillaxing in the pool.
Me and my sister, aka – our bartender for the night. Blackberry mojitos…mmmmm!
Benny boogies down with our lovely hosts.
Matt and his lovely wives.
The boys getting ready to watch their daddies try to blow their hands off.
All that was missing from Chris’ sparkler dance was a grass skirt and a coconut bra. (heh. Good luck getting that mental image out of your head.)
The one thing we didn’t get pictures of was something that shall henceforth be referred to as ‘the cupcake incident’. My sister made these amazing red velvet cupcakes for the party, and just as I was taking my first bite her boyfriend Luke (who has been waiting for two months to get me back for a terribly minor incident involving a sippy cup) came up behind me and smashed the cupcake into my face. I then chased him around the pool with my nostrils still full of icing and hurled the remainder of my cupcake square into the middle of his back. Seriously, it was beautiful. If cupcakes were bullets, this would have been a kill shot.
The bad news is that since I chose to retaliate, apparently we are still not even for the original sippy cup indiscretion. So now I have to wait again….and according to my sister, it could go on for years. I have to say, I really like this one, but if he weren’t a fair skinned guy from Florida, I would swear he had mafia connection.
Was Benny trying to kiss the goat or have a conversation with it? Pretty cute kid, both of them.
