Alohhhhhhha!

I'm sure a few people had left by the time we got it together for a big group photo. Still a marvelous turnout. VTers that made it (in no particular order): Annapet, cjg1, yubert, agraichen, rixie, geisha_girl, ets, thepope (aka the_pope1)... I hope I didn't miss anyone! Also many friends and family members. Yeah!

Lots more photos here:

Everyone got lei'd

Annapet and I made sure that every party-goer got the lei they deserved. Sharing the love, I tell you.

Great food

Annapet and I supplied some of the basics and everyone really came through with GREAT food. Procuitto wrapped melon, fresh smoked salmon, tropical cevice, mac salad, crab dip, fruit salad, watermelon and tomato salad. Yum!

Dangerous fruit

JP (aka thepope aka the_pope1) made some truly damaging mai tais. My, oh my. They made my signature party drink of blue hawaiians look like fruit punch. Phooo!

A little ball near sunset

As the daylight began to fade, people relaxed in to some catch, frisbee and what have you. I think everyone agrees -- Miwok Meadows is a wonderful spot for an outdoor party.

Can YOU hula?

Turns out Prescott (future VTer) can hula like a pro. Who knew? Here he is, showing off "The Double."

Yubert's at the front of the pack

Yubert came along, bringing some key party essentials: wine, chips and a power inverter... so we could plug in the karaoke machine... ohhhhh my.

All that playing was so much fun, but...

...exhausting! Chito needed a little nap. Nite nite Baby Chito!

    Who will ever forget the time when the Yeehaas ran out of beer? The long forgotten civilization of the Yippie-Ky-ay-aye came out of the desert like a mirage to save them with more Budweiser. So many rifles being shot into the air with glee!

    Very informative glance at your former hometown. They have a terrific looking farmers' market. We may have more farmers down her in rural Florida, but you've got a better market. : )

    Ha-ha...you found the CHEESE! The sun is out now, and I'm gardening. Just potting up those morning glories I started a few weeks ago. I want to take care of these seedlings before I take off!
