Well, photography is not my forte, as you shall soon see for yourself… but I did have four snaps from our gathering. Others took photos, too… GET THEE TO A DARKROOM AND SCANNER!

For the record, xploder refuses to be photographed, so it is a triumph that I got his rump in one. Also one of him, far off, in the dark.

I hope you can handle zing, some friends have found they can’t get through.

I would like to state, for the record, that, in photo 3, I am not staring lustily at xploder’s ass.

Rather, I am admiring the BBQ ribs on the grill.

Thank you.

Nice pics Cranky, but I’m glad the picture with me in it came out real blurry, make my chicken legs look a little bit better. :):)🙂

BTW…Everyone looks real good in those pics!

I didn’t say you couldn’t take my picture at ALL, I just didn’t want it taken right THEN! Sheesh…and thanks for staring at my ass Milo…

Yup, Bri.

Nothing like a whore-skank to liven up a Dopefest.

_shudders_

THERE’S an image I didn’t need.

Clearly, the rest of the Michigan Dopers need to get their pics in to help me clear out the image from my mind! 🙂

Nice pics. 🙂 I didn’t think that you were staring lustily at xploder’s ass, Milo. I figured you were in some type of coma. hehehehe j/k

I think Heatherlee’s addition to the dopefest would have been more fun than Aenea meeting Silo. I don’t think anyone would have let up on her. The pictures of her running away crying would have been priceless just for the humour value.

HUGS!

Nine replies and not one mention of how cute the little boy in the blue shirt is. I’m surprised at all of you. I usually get so many compliments on the appearance of my offspring.

Just kidding. Actually, everybody was talking about how much he looks like me. Funny, I always thought he looked just like his dad (except for the blonde hair and blue eyes, he gets that from me)

Okay, I’m back! Sorry, I was busy last night & couldn’t get here. Xploder told me about the pics. I’ll get my pics developed soon!

BTW, Shadowfox’s son is really cute! He and my daughter hit it off very well. chasing each other around & being rowdy, as kids that age are wont to do. Xploder’s daughter and my son also get along quite famously. In fact, I’ve hired both of his daughters to babysit my kids, and so far, they’re doing a very good job! My son likes the girls so much I refer to them as his “girlfriends.”

Now, if only I could bring myself to return the bottles…  
(oh, and Milo _was so_ staring at xploder’s ass. Don’t let him tell you otherwise! ;))
