After a brief rest for the kids and frantic preparation on the part of the grown-ups, we had about 25 friends and family members over for the usual picnic food, even if we didn't have the usual picnic weather. Alan grilled during the worst of the downpour, while Madeline and Eric looked on.
Party-goers included 2 year old Samantha (and parents Helen and Rich not pictured),
Sonya and Mother Rita (and Cuthbert and Eric),
Jeremy and Nana Lois (and the rest of the Marks and Gumpy and Aunt Betty),
and several others not adequately captured digitally.
There was even a very maternal-looking spider (who enjoyed the party outdoors).
Alas, we did not venture out for the fireworks (mostly because we assumed they'd be post-poned), but Jeremy still had cause to don Alan's ear protectors due to the thunder which occasionally interrupted our reading aloud of a story about pirates.
