Summer BBQ

We had our Summer BBQ today. It was a great time at Ted's house. It was also a farewell party for my going away. I really appreciated everyone who came and the gifts! Thanks so much guys!


Leida, Stephanie, and Michael relax in the sun.


Ted and the girls fill water balloons... oh no, what could be coming?


Michael takes a break from grilling. Laura sits and wonders if Michael's lazing about is going to result in an overcooked veggie burger...


Somehow I was convinced to sit on the swing and be pummeled with water balloons by the children... I insisted on the poncho (a small victory!).



A great cake made by Hope. Thanks so much!


A pedometer! Great, now I can be obsessive compulsive about how many steps I've taken per day like everyone else in the lab!


If anyone is familiar with the random human feet that have been washing ashore near Vancouver, then this gag gift will either be very funny or very offensive.


A classic!


Now I have something to put on my bedside table! Thanks Jeff!
