High School Reunion, Day 2


Does my class know how to throw a party, or what? On Sunday we got together for a family BBQ at the city park. Here is our class as it was in 1991, immortalized in butter cream!

The kids played at the Kiddie Park while the grown ups chatted and ate. This is my high school friend Brian's little girl, Charlie, with a random dog that had the unfortunate luck to show up at the park that day and ended up being manhandled by the kids all afternoon. Brian was two classes ahead of us, but he came in to hang out with us anyway. His best friend, Jamie, is married to my best friend, Tricia.

Speaking of Tricia, this is her little girl, Chloe.

Claire-Bear!

All aboard!

Here are the grownups, taking a break from chowing down for another group picture! Have you gotten them straight by now? Here we go...
Top Row: Aaron P., Lorenzo C. (didn't go to the dinner the night before), Becky D., Tricia S., ME, Becky U., Joe P., Larry C.
Front Row: Jeannie P., Jen B., Stephanie N., Curtis J.

Still cutting up.....

Here's a cute bunch of kiddos on the train!

Here are Tricia and Brian's other girls, Brooke and Riley

After the picnic, some of us went back to Pappy's house to hang out and play in the back yard. There goes Claire on the zip line!


Jamie takes a turn watching the kids while Claire scoots by on the zip line again!

What a cute bunch of kids!



Daddy was sooooo good to Mommy that weekend. He did almost everything with the kids so I would have lots of time to chat with my old chums. Thanks, Daddy!


It was a real full-circle moment to see my old backyard full of my friends' and my children, the same backyard we all used to play in when we were kids. There's something really special and sentimental about that.

What a great time.

Love,
Mama
