busy weekend

this is mamere. chris' grandmother. she is fabulous. she turned 80 and all nine of her children gathered for a surprise party for her. she said "wow, i thought everyone had forgotten!" it was terrific. chris' aunts and uncles flew in from all over the country. it was at an aunt's house and it is a perfect party place. there was a HUUUGGGE yard, pond with boats, fishing poles, and bull frogs. there also was a bonfire. i had said the only thing missing from this celebration was fireworks. on the way home we saw some. such a fun day. 
here is chris, max, and mikey. mikey and chris grew up together and he has a son that is a smidgen older than max. it was so neat for chris to be with his cousins for the day after they had been apart so long.
this is leah. she is really great with max. she was teaching him how to fish...
this is a thrown in extra. chris and i had been wanting max to have loooong hair for awhile now. so we decided to grow it out this summer. we often pull it into a ponytail, a samurai ponytail, and he had been called a girl many times. but we don't care. 
on sunday morning after the party, chris' mom told us that one of the cousin's at mamere's party had LICE!! we were told what the protocol was about searching every inch of someone's hair to ensure that they don't have eggs. it was frightening to think about searching each of his hairs. so....
we buzzed him...
he looks fabulous.
