Crab Feast

JR and Jen, eating crabs..

This past weekend we had a crab feast at our house. Many of our family and friends gathered at our home in Grasonville and ate crabs, steamed shrimp, and corn on the cob. We had a blast with our nephews here and also many of JR's cousins' children.
We set up a blow up pool in the back yard and the kids and many parents had a great time, especially during the Broomfield v. Walters water fight. This is a picture of JR's nephew, Matt, and Jason's daughter Kaley. They were pelting each other with water for about an hour, and then JR's brother-in-law, Bob, ended up in the pool himself. That 20$ pool gave us thousands of dollars worth of fun!Casey also had a lot of fun at the party. Of course she thought that all of the guests were came to our house just to visit her, especially the children. She loves children, but probably a little too much. They are just her height and she tends to jump up to eye level and just about petrify them. My friend Shannon, from work, also made the long trek from Arlington, and brought her dog Henry, who although is 10 months old, was the exact same size as Casey. They played and ran around our yard for about 8 hours.









Casey also like to hang out under the tables that we set up for eating crabs. She drank every spilled beer and ate everything that fell under the table, needless to say, there was very little clean up in the backyard.


Casey was so worn out after the party... I took this picture after she had put herself to bed and she did not even wake up after the flash went off. She was so sore the next day that when JR went to pick her up she whimpered. Thanks, Henry, for wearing this little one out completely.
