Celebrations continued...

After we enjoyed the birthday festivities, we drove up the Texadelphia located near Lakeline Mall. Shaunna and Heath were having a "Mainland Reception" to celebrate their marriage with all of the friends and family that weren't able to make it to the ceremony in the USVI. And, yes, Shaunna, I am probably beating you to blogging. (Sorry- I had too..!)

Heath co-owns the Texadelphia with his best friend, Jamie...

They shut down the place and Heath's brother provided some awesome BBQ for dinner. However, they also served the chips and queso that Texadelphia is famous for... yum-o!! It was a really fun night. We were able to reconnect with a lot of the folks that had gone on the trip and also able to see a lot of OLD friends!

Heath also spent a LOT of time sifting through the 1,100 pictures sent to them by those that were on the trip (not including the professional ones taken at the wedding). He put together a very impressive slide show that was great fun to watch! It was awesome to relive those days in paradise. We got to see the trip from the view of everyone's camera! Great job on that Heath!

The last time we saw Kitt & her husband Jack, this little guy was only a few hours old. Little Sean is now walking!!


For a while I gave Shaunna's niece, Kalie, my camera. I asked her to run around and take pictures of whatever she wanted. It was a great way to get pictures of lots of things while I visited with friends and it made Kalie super excited!! While I did get lots (and lots) of pictures of the cake and BBQ, she also got some great shots for me! Thanks Kalie! Oh, and Crystal... she is most definitely your daughter... there were also about 10 self-portraits...

Here is some of our crew from High School... the Class of 90-something.
