End of Summer Get Together

Saturday Bryan and I hosted a little 'end of summer get together'...and maybe I should retract 'little' as there were literally 101 people here. 101 people! Geesh. I'm not even sure I knew that many people.

Aaron parking the tractor for the hayride. Apparently was having difficulty backing up the trailer...

So Bryan had to take over. Who also couldn't back it up. So he made a circle in the cul-de-sac. I LOVE the sky in this photo. It was such a beautiful day!

Go figure. He flipped out when he saw there was a tractor.

The Bode Boys

"What? Seriously, what? Do I have something on my face?"

Adorable.

Sam. GREAT photo Mary!

Colin. This also could be a senior portrait...in a few years.

Getting ready for the hayride!

Hmm...babysitters....hmm....

Beersbi...I have yet to play. Seems pretty entertaining...however unfortunatly may or may not lead to trips to the ER...

Pork on a stick!

Who knew it would be like a mini-state fair?

I should have taken a photo of the food table. WOW. Our friends and family are such amazing cooks! Bryan and I admitted yesterday to hiding a certain raspberry pie in the fridge inside and 'forgot' to set it out when we started eating. Oops.

(it's INCREDIBLE)

Yes, we're aware her dress is tucked in...it was getting in the way of playing on the steps :)

Ashlyn and Grammie

Hayride time! Of course Connor would need to help drive.

and they're off...

Watching the men play a game of whiffle ball in the backyard.

Thank you to everyone for making the party a success! We had a great time and hope everyone else did too! It was SUCH a beautiful day!

I heard more than once...'so now you have to do it annually'...time will tell :)
