If I were wildly popular I would host a big pot-luck party every time we went to visit. That way I would get to SEE everyone and everyone could SEE me. There are only two problems with that. First, it is a lot egotistical, and second you wouldn’t have meaningful conversations with anyone. (Actually three: every third person brings baked beans….I hate baked beans.)
So instead we see only a handful of people. Although this visit, as it coincided with the 4th of July, we went to a party at my aunt’s house, so I got to see a few of my cousins and my sister as well. I contributed a corn casserole which actually was wildly popular (compared to baked beans of course). Otherwise we only made plans with a few people.
I got to see R’s new baby. Spend time with A and her family (she also took some really great family pictures!) and was surprised in getting to visit with A’s cousin whom I’ve been thinking a lot about recently. Spent an evening with the Chen family, and a parade with my pen pal and her family. We spent a day with D’s mom and assorted family members looking through old pictures and getting some laughs. We went to the zoo, did some shopping, ran a 5.5K (and didn’t die), got new tires, put together several puzzles, and I ate massive amounts of popcorn. The boys played with cousins and friends, chased peacocks, played with puppies and kittens, and got incredibly sweaty and dirty.
We were so occupied in fact, that there were only 6 pictures on the camera when we got home. For your viewing pleasure: OUR VACATION 2011

I love your pictures! The one of the peacock's rear made me laugh. Also, I hate baked beans too.
