Cape House 2008 Edition

Frank spoon-feeding the crowds with the carrot cake he dropped on the deck... Yummy!
Yep, Nathan found a pal, Drag officially joined his clan of the "Waterproof Socks"!
Carolyn concentrating, it's pumpkin carving time!
SO FRANK!!! What was that crawling up your leg again??? Well you'd be surprised to know that Frank can scream with a higher pitch than a girl when there's a spider around... or even when it's just a little branch as a matter of fact...
Mary Beth posing for her next cookbook cover...
Huge stump on the beach
The teenage girls quiet... until everybody stops paying attention...
Just chillin...
Mary Beth, Second in Command!
Luz, you look so sad without Waldo...





So here are just a quick sample, I obviously can't put all the picture up there and the videos are just too big. But highlights of this fantabulous week-end, well where to start? We were lucky to have a perfect weather to enjoy boating and kayaking. Of course, the dinner party on Saturday was a huge success thanks to Master of the Grill Jonathan, some serious Salsa dancing on the deck followed, fire in the fire pit and lots of laughs when Frank dropped his birthday cake on the deck but still insisted on feeding everyone by the spoon with what he managed to scrape off the deck... Then, Sunday morning, the teenage girls decided to play a trick on the teenage boys and down went their tent! Thank you Frank for hosting such a great week-end and all for sharing food and jokes! What a great time!

Vickie, you better hope Spiderman doesn't look at the blog and read your comment. You will live in fear while you wait for him to get you back. Your pics are great and it was another awesome FOJ event.

It was FANTABULOUS! Thank you, Frank, for sharing your wonderful place with us. That Frank, you gotta love him and his neverending deliverances of practical jokes & tricks. Carrot cake shmeared on our faces was a highlight! But, I agree, Luz, that Theresa wins the prize for pulling that high-pitched scream out of Frank! LOL! Great to have Jenna and Drag with us, and thanks, Drag, for sharing your fashion statement with us. It's already inspiring me with ideas for future gatherings. And, of course, the best part is always just being together with the best people in the world and laughing. Luv you!

Yes! This was a great weekend again! Thanks for sharing your pics for us to steal and put on Facebook Vickie! I cannot believe all the great food this weekend. I am going to have to hike my ass off this Fall just to burn it all off! Too bad dad was not there he would have totally gone nuts over the salsa dancing he is the "Salsa King" I guess Luz and Waldo will have to come down to Lex-Vegas this Fall and throw on her CD for some more Boogie time! Great to see everyone! I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends!

Jimmy, I'm not too worried about it at this point... I know how to get him back if he even attempts anything... and I do have Luz to help me out... Luz, you looked like you were having a blast, that's why I made the comment that even if you were anxiously waiting for you man, you were just fun and laughing! LOL
I agree with Nathan, Rick and Esther should have been there. Rick would have have his salsa lesson and would have been able to help Jay with his hip moves...
Luv,
~ Vickie ~

Great pictures Carolyn.
I agree with Kathy, you cannot ask for better group of people to hang out with.
Yeah, Nathan to much consumption of food and beer this summer. I have been hitting the gym every other day this week .Just name the time and place and we will be there ready to do some Salsa. Looking forward to it. Really miss you parents.
Vickie, you already know me to well. It’s all cool. You always have the best comments.
Luv you all,
Luz
