o8.27.o6...Pt. 3...Family and Friends

Finally, the best thing about Dad's birthday party, was the people! I found myself completely overwhelmed as there were both Bryants and Vandercars and friends from both sides of the family. There were so many people there that I don't see enough of...and I wanted to sit down and talk with ALL of them...which was impossible...but the day ended with a great appreciation for how much our family has been blessed by the great people we are privileged to call family and friends.

The black and white shot above is one of my top ten favorite pictures, ever. Years ago, one of Barb's kids saw this picture and wanted to know if we were on a field trip! Everyday was a field trip at the station!
