June 26 & 27th with the family.

We had a mini family reunion during the last weekend of June. Emily came in on the Hound Thursday night from NYC. Hilary and family arrived Friday evening and Rich and Diane came for dinner on Saturday. Even Chandler joined us for dinner after his shift at Target. Of course, I took not one picture on Saturday but I can say with assurance that we ate well (love that bean salad Rich....and I need the recipe for the spicy version) and drank well.....gin and tonics, beer and we tried this new Van Gogh brand of vodka (I liked the bottle...now empty.)

The weather was perfect on Sunday and I managed to use the camera. Chuck and Nick played endless hours of this nameless game using the Torpedo .This is a game that Ian and his friends made up back when they used to play games that didn't involve red cups. The game is even fun in the rain.
Joey leaves with the Torpedo. Game Over.

Hilary and Joey share a hug.
What looks like a tender moment between Ian and Joey probably turned violent and didn't end well.
Emily is wearing her "I am not sharing" face.

Joey, Ian and Emily play ball in the pool. The bat can also be used as an ineffective oar.
Look quick....Joey stopped and crashed.

And Nick is waiting for the car to be packed so everybody can hit the road.
