Lobsterfest ‘09, otherwise known as, Independence Day
Happy Birthday America! Would you like to see how we celebrated New England style? Well, your wish is my command.
The festivities began the night before at Le Chez Dani (I don’t speak French, so I have no idea what I just said, moving on). We began the night with booze and barbeque and though I would love to coherently recount the evening for you, I’m not sure that’s possible. We’ll have to make due with these photos from that night. Lets try to put the pieces together as a group, shall we?
The night started off nice enough, here are the ladies posing for a quick photo. Everyone was looking pretty with it at this point.
The guys were all standing at this point too (though that didn’t last too long). Its a pretty good looking group, but you’ll notice that The Husband was looking especially sexy that night.
Hi Guil! You’re on the Internet!
Speaking of sexy, tell me that is this not an incredbily good looking pregnant woman?
I hadn’t seen Tara in a couple of months so I forced her to pose for a billion photos with me.
At some point Melissa got overly excited and managed to break one of Dani’s champagne glasses. Witness the carnage.
Dani was none too happy.
Being the consummate hostess she cleaned up without complaint. Realizing that this was good practice for mothering (babies are always breaking shit, stupid babies), Dani decided to put some of her new tools to use. This ensured that Lissy would not have anymore accidents with her champagne.
Shortly after that it was time to pass out. We all wanted to be well rested for the 4th!
::insert sleeping here::
Happy 4th!!! Time to celebrate!! I have to tell you I was ridiculously excited about Indenpendce Day this year. We had some super rad plans to head up the coast to Orr’s Island in Maine for a lobster bake. Let me break this down for you: 4th+Rocky New England Coastline + Lobster = Heaven. I was so excited that I spent the entire drive up taking photos of myself (is that not what you do when you’re excited? Well then. Did you just call me a spaz? Understandable, the evidence is pretty damning).
I even tried to get one of me and The Husband, but it was a bit of a fail.
Finally we arrived and were greeted with this glorious scenery. I ran from the Jeep screaming like a crazy person with my hands waving above my head. The scenery was that awe inspiring. Ben was only a little embarrassed to be seen with me.
Holy orgasmic real estate Batman! Better than a rabbit at inducing pleasure. This lobster bake was being hosted by my gorgeous, wonderful, fabulous friend Kate and her family at their family home. I’m seriously trying to convince Kate’s parents to adopt me. Please???
The day was perfectly perfect perfection (who needs a thesauraus? Not I!) with one minor glitch when the rain decided to move in briefly.
After that brief interruption the weather got even more beautiful. I just about died from happiness (and lobster overdose).
So, in closing, I had the best weekend in recent memory. How did you all celebrate? Photographic evidence of celebrations much appreciated.
drinking from a baby bottle is harder than it looks……..
But you make it look so easy!
You are so pretty. Its a good thing you make me laugh otherwise I would hate you.
You flatter me with your flattery. Should I just remove my panties now? Oh, not what you were looking for? That’s just kind of what happens when I receive a compliment. Very, very easy.
Wow it looks and sounds like a wonderful day! Glad to hear you had fun xo
Happy July …. 5th!
I think I will utilize this “champagne in a baby bottle” thing. You ladies are on to something.
You’re so fabulous looking. The pearls + red lipstick + black = hot.
Thanks for the shout of support. One of these days I won’t feel like such a f*$k up.
I was trying to do a whole Jackie O thing, you’re my new favorite person for thinking that it worked!
You are purdy, lady. I would totally talk shit behind your back (in jealousy) but instead…GIRL CRUSH.
And I just had a great 4th of July living vicariously through your pictures! That was so fun, thanks for bringing me along considering we know what I was doing on Saturday.
Reciprocated girl crush! High five!
And yes, the fourth was awesome here in New England, but I am very excited to hear about your upcoming dating action (as a married hag I have to live vicariously through you young and nubile singles).
so pretty! i am in love w/ the red lips and pearls!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! I would now go on this blog every day!
Omg I love the champagne in a baby bottle bit! That’s hilarious.
You are so purty, you dress so nice! Inspires me to dress a bit nicer!
Hahaha- Melissa is such a lush with her baby bottle!
And can I just say that my self-esteem is doing cartwheels right now? You guys are all so sweet. Seriously.
#1 you have the coolest spam protection ever. However, that would require me not to post while drunk since I probably would not be able to add correctly.
#2, You New England 4th of July looks quite amazing!
The fourth was awesome!! I would definitely suggest coming up to NE to celebrate, AND there are lots of Internet people who love to get drunk up here. Score!
Love your pictures!! You are gorgeous!!
Thank you so much! You girls are way better than therapy. Take that years of insecurity!
If you’re a spaz, I don’t want to know what that makes me…
You are such a lovely couple!!! The fun is radiating from my computer screen
Hmm, even if I’m a spaz, I’m fairly sure you’re still the balls.
You do look clASSY….good cover.
You remind me of me in pics…don’t want to squish the face so it’s all “smiling with the eyes” as Tyra would say.
NE=my blue heaven.
how cute are you and all of your friends? seriously.
looks like an awesome time.
Red lips and pearls. LOVE it!
Holy Crap! you have a Jeep? I have a Jeep. we are such soul mates it’s not even funny. Actually it is pretty hilarious. I would have left this comment on your rubber vagina post but yea, comments said closed. boo.
Are we secretly the same person??
I saw some hoe trying to pull of your effortlessly classy look today and I actually said…outloud, “I know a girl who doesn’t try to look like Jackie O, it just happens.”
So cool, I’m a STALKER.
Hahaha- I LOVE it! You totally just made my day!
okay, you’re hot!!!
That lobstah was wicked awesome! I felt like such a New Englander!
Um…you and your husband are super effing adorable. Just saying.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you found a clean pair of pants.
