crab feast, maryland 2008

yesterday started off bright and early with uncle bryan and aunt missie picking us up to head to maryland for a family crab feast with john's aunt janet and uncle lary and the scollick side of the family. it was a fun ride down and back with them as we all road together in their mini-van for all of our full entertainment!

we enjoyed a yummy breakfast at cracker barrell (who doesn't love it there?) before continuing on our way to rockville, maryland for some fun.

we got to visit with family...some we haven't seen since christmas or earlier (and in the case of john's cousin janelle's little girl alexandria, never), and have fun cracking crabs (a first time for missie, tony and i).

tony got to spend some time with his cousins evelyn and heather and had fun playing with them. he's at a great age that he was able to go outside and down in the playroom with them without mommy and daddy having to be right there.

it allowed mommy and aunt missie some fun martini time (thanks to poppop gary)...

and even more martini time with aunt jomay as well...

the reason behind this big family gathering was to celebrate all the july and august birthday's in the family, culminating with alexandra's 1st!



we had a lot of fun and want to thank aunt janet and uncle lary for their hospitality and to them and betty nana and poppop gary for the yummy crabs! you can click here for more pictures from the day!

It looks like EVERYONE had a great time yesterday...what a fun filled day it was!

Do you like crab?? How cute was Alexandria's b-day hat!

I am so jealous about the martinis...can't wait for that first glass of wine next summer...I am sure I will be tipsy from that first glass as well! LOL

Hope your weekend is going well.
