Fall Family Party Fun

A couple of weekends ago we went to a family party at Hempstead Lake State Park thrown each year by Daddy's Uncle Eddie. The park is a wonderful place for the kids to run around, although the dirt makes for quite a mess by the end of the day! There is also a playground and a carousel within walking distance which was a big hit with Mary Pat this year. We enjoyed a beautiful early fall day outside with Daddy's family. Here are a few more pictures!
Mary Pat hanging out with Uncle Bill Barry and Pat.
The girl loves her Cheetos!
Michael had just woken up (and proceeded to have a blow out soon after this picture was taken so his cute outfit had to be changed!).
Visiting with Aunt Amy and Cousin Emily.
Big Papa and Pat with three of their SIX granddaughters!
Daddy and Nick participating in "Daddy Feeding Duty"!
Mary Pat and her admirer Lylah.
Aunt Amy leading a group of girl cousins to the playground!

Holding on tight. Ready for the carousel to start!

Too much excitement for one afternoon.

ok... Love, Love how MP had on her bracelets for the festivities, all three of the little ones in the pic of Big Poppa and Pat look exactly alike, ( all very serious). Love, Love, Love the pic of Amy and all the little girls holding hands. Would make a cute "Girlfriend" poster. Not to leave out the "big guy", adorable one of him and his fan club. Looks like you had a fun time, so lucky to have such a large family to always have fun gatherings and memories.
XOXOXOXO
