Gressley-Ruppel Weenie Roast - 29 Sep 2007

After sadly missing the 2006 event, I once again was able to make it to Chris and Rick's bonfire/weenie roast in 2007. As in previous years, I ended up as semi-official photographer of the event; and the main difference this time was that there were more young children to take pictures of. Well, that and a remarkably nice sunset...

Lance
DB and Raché's kid was once again star of the party, at least as far as I was concerned.
Audrey
Of course, as Chris and Rick's kid, she got *premiere* star status.
Audrey, II
She seemed to enjoy the whole event, now that she was actually conscious for it.
Rick
I like the combination of farm and technology.
Random Cat
One of the barn cats seemed to have a good time at the party; she loved the attention.
Random Cat, II
Certainly, she enjoyed hanging out for the pictures.
Audrey, III
I suppose I should trim some of these shots...
Audrey, IV
But I suspect her mother will be happy to have some extra good shots of her.
Audrey, V
Okay, I swear I didn't do anything to make her sad.
Random Cat, III
I think her goal was a hot dog or three.
Watching the Fire
I think that most of these folks were NetTechs and PCCs.
Beef House Lance
Whenever Lance sees me now, he yells out "Beef House!". Awww...
American Compaq Gothic
Rick, Chris and Audrey, doing the annual pose.
Steve Butler
I hadn't seen Steve in a while. Cool!
Hunt Successful
Behold the mighty hunter, devouring her prey!
Darren
He used to work for Rick.
Hay Ride
I probably should have gone along with this...
Loaded Up
...but I didn't have a kid to carry with.
Lance's First Hay Ride
Also note that he's wearing a Skyline Chili sweatshirt, which I got him when he was born!
Audrey's First(?) Hay Ride
Okay, she may have gone before.
Twilight Sky
It looks kindof neat over the house.
Twilight Sky, II
I probably could have gotten better shots with a tripod.
Twilight Sky, III
But it was fun to just experiment with the new lens, too.
Twilight Sky, IV
And I really did get some pretty shots.
Twilight Sky, V
I'll do better over time, I'm sure.
Twilight Sky, VI
But for now, I can just enjoy the nice colors in retrospect.
Hay Ride Returns
I had to leave shortly after the ride returned, but at least I have proof that it *did* return!
Still Hunting
She would find more food that night, I'm sure.
