Friday.. Grandma's Actual birthday. The little cakes to "make do" until the party on Saturday. ALthough, they were REALLY YUMMY cheesecakes. :)
My sister BethAnne and her little Sean
My cousin Jim with Patrick. We hadn't seen Jim since James and I got married! 
The Friday night gang~
My Cousins, Colleen, Kelly and Emily.. and my Uncle Patrick came to visit with us at my Grandma's house. The girls are so much fun.. and they love the boys!
If you are in the McCarthy family, then you have "grown up" getting your picture taken in front of this fireplace... The tradition continues...
Robert Moses beach.. The only problem was the sunburns. Ouch!
My Uncle's Monster Truck was flying over the kids...what a riot!
OK, so it is really annyoing that these pictures post in the opposite order than what I downloaded them to be... but here is the packing ordeal. Have you ever wondered what it is like to pack for 8 people for 5 days?!? SOME chore!! 
I thought maybe some of you had not yet seen our pet snake, Strikey. He is a Ball Python and is about 3 and 1/2 feet long.
We love picking time! We picked strawberries (above) and pease (below).
I actually made these cakes, and they were OH SO YUMMY!
The boys outside after the Baptism.. all six!
Me and my sweet baby. Notice the bracelet.

The GodFather's Family: Look at those pretty girls!
COUSINS! The 12 cousins unite again!
Our family. This is the best shot we got. Man, the kids were SO wound up!
