| BBQ at Anabel's... what a day we had!!! |
 |
| Here we are at the beginning of the day. From left to right, Anabel, Gregory, Simon and Owen. Phaidra arrived a little later and Esther came after Simon left so we don't have any photos of all of us together. |
| Please note, that the background music refers to the fact that we are all so LOW to the ground...not our social standing! (If you can not hear it, imagine Garth and I've Got Friends in Low Places) |
 |
| Jeremie and Cameron (Owen's awesome big brother) had ONE relaxing moment together. |
 |
| This is a picture of us all NOT SMILING (we tried to make Jenn crazy!). From left to right (Phaidra, Simon, Owen, Gregory and Anabel). We really did smile a lot that day, just not while she had that damn camera pointed at us. |
 |
| Gabrielle (who always smiles) and Danai who smiled A LOT the rest of the day! |
 |
| Here is Nancy, Kathleen, Jennifer, Janet and Sarah with babies enjoying beer and milk in Kathleen's sunny kitchen.. Phaidra and Simon were out of camera range...sorry! |
 |
 |
| We were a little concerned about the amount of time Owen spent observing the grown ups. He seemed drawn to both the computer and the beer. His mom's eye is looking much better now. |
 |
| Esther and Allison became very attached to Kathleen's puppy Alice. She reminded them of their dog Vinnie, so Esther was not TOO afraid! |
 |
| Fun by the pool. It was a beautiful day for a swim and a splash. Alaina and Danai enjoyed matching swim suits AND popsicles. What more could a 3 year old want!?!?! |
 |
| Owen and Gregory liked the view from under the slide. Less apt to get run into by the "girls"! |
 |
| Not only did Kathleen have a puppy. She had a litter of new kittens in her garage. Anabel is oh so gentle! |
 |
| Gregory was not so sure about the kitten. But Jennifer liked it. Not enough to take one home mind you |
 |
 |
| Phaidra and Esther deep in conversation about the "boys"! |
| Here is Jeremie and Alaina engaging in a little "I'll show you mine if you show me yours"...We were thankful they were discussing belly buttons! |
 |
| We went to see the neighboUrs cows at milking time. Here is Cameron, Janet and Owen enjoying the barn. |
 |
| It took forever to get a group photo. We had to sing and clap while we waited for everyone to gather. Lev (Esther's daddy was very very patient). |
 |
| And here we all are (except Lev and Anabel who is hidden in the backpack behind Kathleen)! (Gregory, Jennifer, Alaina, Kathleen, Cameron, Phaidra, Andre, Nancy, Gabrielle, Danai, Janet, Owen, Jeremie, Allison and Esther) |
 |
| Lev and Andre enjoying some quiet time on the porch during dinner. |
 |
 |
| Nancy, Kathleen, Lev, Janet, Owen and Allison in front of a beautiful sunset! |
| And our day ending with a bonfire. We had so much fun and can't wait for Kathleen to have a Christmas party!!! |
