how many people can fit in a pick-up?

 we counted 20.

last sunday, after the dance, we made our way over the shannon's house. and, boy, it proved to be another fun day! when we got there, we were greeted with the wonderful smell of brunch. oh my, but it was lovely!

after which we had a small church service (along with the singing of beautiful old hymns...and we didn't sound half bad!).

that afternoon TWENTY of us piled into a pickup and set out for a long ride in the country, shooting at wild hogs and playing guessing games (someone would play a song from a movie and we'd all have to guess which movie it was from).

once we arrived at the "river" we jumped out and went tromping through the mud. 

not only did i ruin a 3rd pair of black flats (the last two were also ruined with the shannons), but my nylons too. ah well, it was definitely worth it! i should learn from experience to always wear tall boots and jeans (instead of a dress and flats) when i go to visit the shannons :) 

while there little stockton found a giant crawdad and shockingly morgan (the scared-y cat) picked it up!

a big thank you, again, to the shannons for hosting this fun adventure! i know we ALL thoroughly enjoyed it. lovely. lovely. lovely. lovely.

p.s. what do you think of the new blog layout??
