1 I just thought this was a cool pic. I took it on the 3rd hole of the golf course. I was hoping to get a birdie during the day. Sadly, this is as close as I got.
2 My cousin Mike in the golf cart about to eat a bagel. Tasted like crap, but at least they only charges us $2.50 for it. ::grumble::
3 My brother showing me which finger his girlfriend likes to stick up his ass. Thanks bro. TMI.
4 After the golf course, where I shot an uber crappy 110 (DAMMIT!), we were off to the Bocchino's house. It was a really nice place. Here you see my dad right before he made the BBQ explode.
"So you turn the gas on full, add some lighter fluid, then look directly into the grill so you can see where to toss in the match. Works every time... and it's completely safe. Watch." LOL
5 The always sexy Jen and her really nice boyfriend Mitch. These people are awesome!
6 Beers, Babes, and a Baby. What could be better?
Francesca watching the women who were watching the baby in the Spiderman Jumper. That's deep man.
7 Strike a pose.
8 Cousin frankie doing one of many shots of Tequila, or as we like to call it, ToKillYa.
9 Cousin Mike and his new girlfriend Debbie. She's an absolute sweetheart. At least one of them looks good in pictures. Sorry Mikey.
10 Ann, Bob, Philip, Arleen, and Maria (mom). Good times. Good times.
11 Michael, Maria, Mike B, and Flash (dad) enjoying a good story about how I saved Mikes life back in Nam. OK, so that didn't happen, but if it did, that would have been cool!
Mike B, as we call him, was so drunk we substituted Peach Snapple for Tequila and gave him shots of it. He drank the shot and bit the lime. Then he shook his head violently as to shake off the effects of that "Tequila Shot". How funny is that that he couldn't even tell the difference between Tequila and Snapple?!?! And I thought I was drunk!!!
12 My brother playing baseball with my cousin Rob's son, Matthew. My brother looks like he is sweating, but he just has PWGFS (Post Water-Gun Fight Syndrome).
13 The twins Jackie and Tara enjoying their drinks in front of the house. That's probably illegal, but who cares? PARTY!!!
14 The proud owners of this fine establishment, Lucy and Rob. Thanks for hosting. This was a great party!
15 There was some conversation about landscaping and kicking some girl out for having a party and sleeping with the gardener. Or maybe partying in the garden. Or sleeping in it. Something bad happened. I don't know. I was 8 shots of Tequila deep by this time.
Side note, that shirt is right on the money!
16 Philip doing his best George Burns impression. I think. I don't know. I was drunk, dammit!
17 I think I took this shot as I was falling down. It's the playground in the backyard and in the lower left hand corner is little Matthew. How cute is he?
18 What form! Please please please Rob... make sure he's a Mets fan. That's all I ask. Or at the very least just not a Yankee fan. Don't let him repeat your mistakes.
19 Lots of women at the party. And yet, still flew solo the whole day. I have no idea who I'm related to, so why risk it?
20 This is the cutest shot of the day. This is award winning photography here.
21 All the women. Very nice.
22 Another shot of all the women together. Unfortunately, I don't have a shot of all the men together.
And Frankie was in the backgrgound having delusions of grandeur regarding the size of his manhood. Michael, who is twistedly intrigued, looks on in awe! I think he wants to touch it.
23 OK, I guess I do have a pic of the men, albeit not a good pic. Not taken by me = blurry pic. I'm sure the fact that a watergun fight broke out as we were getting ready to take this pic and the camera lens getting wet didn't help.
24 My mom about to do a shot of Tequila. Do you sense a theme here? They should have renamed the holiday "Family Tequila Shot Day"!!!
This is your body...
25 This is your body on Tequila.
Any questions?
26 Bob Bocchino is about to do something sinister, but what?!?!
27 SNEAK ATTACK!!!
28 The women run in terror as this all out 'Girls vs Boys' watergun fight begins!
29 Bob passing down some pearls of wisdom in Water-Gun Warfare to young Matthew. I know you will make us proud one day, Matt!
30 So the watergun fight ended as abruptly as it began. I wound up soaking some poor girl with the hose. In all fairness, she wet me with it first. Wrong move lady.
Then it was back to what we all do best... drink Tequila! Woo Hoo!!!
31 This would have been a good pic, but the flash didn't go off. Oh well.
Not that you can see it, but it's Jen, Lisa, and Jackie.
32 That's much little better!
DISCLAIMER: I'm about 12 shots of tequila drunk by this point, so I can not be held responsible for any photos of women's asses, breasts, or my own penis.
33 Me using Jen's shoulder as an anti-gravity device. Jen takes a self shot of all 3 of us. Me, Jen, and Mitch. Sweet!
34 This is the smile of someone very drunk and thinking very bad thoughts. Just thought I would let you know. And then there is a hot chick and her boyfriend behind me.
35 We wound up playing lawn-bocci-ball. This was my first time playing it. Needless to say, I kicked ass! Me and Tara were killing people and then tara quit and Jackie came in. Or was that the other way around? I can't remember. Anyway, Lisa was playing with Mitch, and after feeling severely humiliated and on the brink of utter devestation at our hands, they "took a break" and came back with little Matthew and let him throw the balls around. It was obvious they were just stalling. Eventually, Lisa decided she was done.
This is Lisa trying to give Matt a high-five, but he knows what time it is. Denied!
Complete Pwnage! <---- (that's hacker speak for "YOU GOT OWNED!")
36 Mitch has skillz with the kidz, so Matt gave him his propz. Thingz look much better when they end in Z.
37 Kyra looking all cute and innocent, but we know better. Don't we?
38 Jen and Mike. This is the face of drunk and tired. And then there's Mike... who's just drunk. LOL
39 Best self shot ever! Jen looks good here. My self shots always look kinda crappy. How can you expect me to compete with this? I have nothing to work with!
40 And here is Jen passed out on the couch. My dad followed suit. He needed some rest after the BBQ explosion and all. Ya know?
41 Ahh, the ritual "Fondling Of The Older Men From Behind". Debbie adjusts her boobs in excitement.
(Where do I come up with this stuff?!?!)
42 Grabbing some grub and dancing the drunken night away!
Right after this picture, I went in the house and took a 30 minute nap on the futon. When I woke up, everyone was gone. Everyone thought I had left, so they all went home. At least, that's how I heard it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
43 I said goodbye to what was left of all the cousins and hopped in my car to drive home.
On the Long Island Expressway, I see this car up on the back of a flatbed towtruck. What is it with me and taking picks of cars up on towtrucks on the drive home from places?! Anyway, as I drive closer I notice it's a DEMOLITION DERBY CAR!!! I only got one shot of it because I was driving and didn't want my car to look like the loser of the latest competition.
