July 4th 2008 – Annual Cassidy BBQ

I took some time to write today. I have much to catch up on, including updating the website and galleries! Watch for those changes. I wanted to share KC and Doreen Cassidy’s annual July 4th BBQ.  Every year, they have this fantastic gathering at their home in Wasilla. Everyone participates by bringing their share of goodies. KC usually has several grills going throughout the day. Cooking hamburgers, sausages, chicken, fish, you name it and let’s not forget – tube steaks for the kids! The day is full with all kinds of food, kids playing, fireworks, drinks, food, more drinks, and great family fun and did I say, drinks?  The fun thing is there are bunches of photographers there all day! As Martha Stewart says: “it’s a good thing!” Photographers are a great group of people to hang with.


  

 

Only a face a mother could love . . .

Go packas . . . Okay, that was the best Wisconsin accent that I could muster.

 

Now that’s trouble brewin’ right there.

 

Yes! Even the big kids like to play at the annual BBQ!

 

Both KC and Dor are big time gardeners. So they will always have the best garden treasures to photograph.

dooough! caught in the act. I love having a long lens, most people do not know when I am taking their picture . . . but sometimes I do get caught – even when I am 40 feet away.

 

You can tell by the look on Frannie’s face . . . she’s thinking . . . is she pointing that lens at me? . . . is she? . . . is she pointing that lens at me? . . .

 

My posse! Part of them anyway. 

Dueling poppers!
