A Few Pictures from the Going Away Party

Six of the seven people pictured in this photo were not bitten by a pony. One person from this photo is going to be Very Famous. Another person (at least one of them that I know of and possibly more) is a model. Six of the seven people in this picture aren't men. One person in this picture brought "Polly Pockets" to play with and likes to hug people a lot. One person in this photo is allergic to almost everything including wheat, cheese, and tomatos.




Ok this second picture is very funny verging on hilarious because the child shown looks almost exactly like the daughter of my cousin and his wife (who are pictured) except that she's not theirs. She's the daughter of another cousin on the other side of the family. So, years from now, when all of us are senile, we'll look back on this picture and think "what the hey?" This reminds me of opening gifts one Christmas. Someone was reading off the "from" part of the tag and mistakenly linked members from different families as having given the present. This struck us as funny because, you know, when is this cross-section of people going to get together to buy gifts together? I think I my thank you letters read something like this: "Dear [Cousin], Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Keith Urban, Martha Stewart, and Reverand Al Sharpton: Thank you so much for the bath salts. I know you're all very busy, which makes the gift that much more special."

Family...yeah.
