Other Maryland Fun

514

At brunch I saw my cousins I haven’t seen in years.  Jason, Kari and Luke.

Aunt Sharon, Jason and Emily.  Jason’s Fiancé. 

 521

Kari, Devon, Uncle Richard, Aunt Caryn and Luke.

I was very thankful that my mom planned this and got us all together. 

 524

My BFF Shannon.  Easton was running a fever here.  It went away that night. 

 526

She was cracking up at how wild & funny Gavin was.

Gavin stealing Ava’s drink.

 532

Then we went to our friends Jose & Nikki’s where Daddy and the boys could finally run wild without having to be in nice clothes or be afraid of breaking things. 

 541 542

Gavin and their daughter Sonya played great together.  She is a riot.  Her and Gavin are like two mischievous peas in a pod.  She got into my makeup bag and put my mascara and foundation all over her body when she was supposed to be sleeping!

 551

I went shooting.  Look at the smiley face I made in my target :) Brad bought me a gun for protection but I couldn’t even tell you what it is.  It’s not the one pictured though. 

 556

He literally had to hold me up against my back because the backfire on this thing practically knocked me over. 

 557

He has every right to be laughing at me!

 560

Then the Daddy’s helped their boys shoot with a kids rifle.

561

  567

Bradley was a little intimidated because up to this point he had only seen Daddy’s guns and played with his Nerf guns.  He had never heard real gunshots or shot a real gun.  Brad held him the whole time and he liked it!

LOL!! Can I tell you how hard I just laughed seeing you with that huge gun. ;) I just know Brad has given Mike some ideas now.
