Monica's Birthday

We celebrated Monica's Birthday out at her grandparent's cottage on Saturday. Here's a view of the little lake from the yard:



Monica and her cupcake cake:



Some baby eating a cupcake:



Monica and I. Why does my mouth look huge in this picture?


Volleyball, sort of:


Volleyball, after it got dark and people were a little intoxicated and wearing things they definitely should not have been (Paul, Mark, Elaine) :



The mosquitos were out of control:



But I took off my protective covering for long enough to take a normal picture too:


Later, at Paul's house, as the night got progressively stranger and stranger:


People actually looking at the camera and fake smiling for this shot:

Stuff

Welcome home dinner for Allison and I, and going-away dinner for Kara at The Quarter Bistro.
Kara, Davey, Kristy, Allison, Sean, me:

And the parents:

I'm related to them :-/

All the siblings:


Kara and I went to Chicago for a weekend.

Look how convenient this "Convenience Center" in a restaurant bathroom is! You can get everything you'd ever need while in a bathroom- tampons, Sour Drops Liquid Candy, and glow sticks!



Kara in her oh-so fashionable sunglasses:



Hanging out with my old roomies, Anne and Amanda:


Back in Michigan, out for Kathleen's 21st Birthday. Me and Caitlin. And $3 mugs of goood beer:



And before:
Shots:

Those mugs were just asking to be slammed together, Oktoberfest-style.
P.S. doing that results in a lot of spilled beer.



View out my window of a storm passing over:



Monica and I went kayaking. This is a scary statue on one of the canals:


This is one of hte little lakes we went kayaking through:


Joshwa, me, and Allison:


The other Alison (one L Alison) and Ju are in Michigan right now, so of course I went to go visit.
Ju, I apologize in advance for having pictures of your pinto on my website, I hope you forgive me when you're older.
