Cookout @ Savino's- Friday July 22

On Friday Night we had a cookout at Joe and Courtney (Ainscough) Savino's House...

Here is Joe at the grill with Don (Donnie) Browne. Don flew up from Florida to be with us, and it was great to see him!

Here we have Amanda (Duclos) Towne with Jodi (LaLiberte) and Paul Wirtzburger, and Teddy Gribbin just hanging out by the pool...

Steve and Karlene (Smith) Rogers on the deck smiling for the camera...

Here we have Chrissy (Rogers) Fooks and her big brother Steve Rogers deep in some philosophical conversation...I think it was about who the Red Sox were going to acquire in a trade (for those of you who know Steve) or what crazy antics Chris' youngest child was up to (those of you that know Chris & Cole)...

Hey how did our resident photographer Renee Wilmouth get in a picture? Is this the work of her boyfriend Brian...or is it some sinister plot perpetrated by her former L.I.F.E. group to expose her to the rest of the world for just what she is...a great person? Anyway, here she is with Jodi...

Here we have the Gribmeisters themselves, Mary and Teddy Gribbin. They are putting all those wacky games we used to play on Friday nights into practice in real life by having 2 teenaged sons at home!

Here is Pastor Steve and Amanda Towne. Pastor Steve looks as if he just threw something at the camera...and Amanda looks like she is up to no good herself, maybe she just threw her kids into the pool?

No Karlene...don't push Dale in the pool...he still has his shoes on...

Here you see Dale conspiring with Don Browne and John Volatile on how they can hold Karlene still while he douses her with the water bottle he is showing them...

and here we have Steve and Audrey (Rogers) Aston...and Teddy who is running to get into the picture!

How do these kids rate, getting all the best seats? Here we have Jake Gribbin, Cole Fooks, and Dale Swinburne...which one of them will own up to the purse?

Now this is what you call sitting on the deck! Here you have Patience Towne and Daphne Boudreau just getting to know each other and chillin...

And the distinctive beard and white hair...yes you are right...Fred Waddington with his wife Doreen (Tourgee) sitting with John Volatile as the kids enjoy the pool...

East Matunick Beach Day - Friday July 22

Well the GT/LCC Youth Reunion started with a beautiful day at East Matunick State Beach...
Here is Paul & Jodi Wirtzburger (LaLiberte) soaking up the sun....
And their children Gavin and Gage enjoying the beach sand. They don't really get much of that in Texas! Gavin is fearless...he ran right into the water, and a wave wiped him out. After that he made sure he had daddy with him when wiping out...;-) Gage is a little shy at first, but bring him a snack and he will warm right up to you!

Ezra Crino was really enjoying himself in the surf that was low tide. He also really new how to make friends with anyone who dug a hole...he really kept his parents busy meeting new people on the beach!

Can anyone tell us if this is Pastor Steve just watching his kids swim, or looking for the youth he forgot on Block Island on one of our biking trips? LOL...

...And here is Chris Fooks (Rogers) and her youngest son Cole watching something very interesting happening in the water. It must be something exciting, because they didn't even realize that their picture was being taken...

It also was really good to see Michelle LaLiberte! She got to come to the beach, even though she was working (as a nanny, of course). Her brother-in-law seems to be eyeing that sandwich she is holding from afar...

Here you see Robin Enos (Perrault for all you old-timers) in a deep theological discussion with Chris Fooks. I think they are discussing whether Scarborough or East Matunick is better...someone will have to post the answer when it is decided.

Here is Renee Wilmouth's friend Brian Felty. We think he is pondering the meaning of life..or just trying not to get to sunburned!

...and another picture of Steve Crino contemplating his big toe! Or deciding whether or not he was going to go in the water...

...and here is the world famous Cole Fooks! He even has his own blog www.fasterthan.blogspot.com , and you can read all about him there....

...Here we have Aaron Fooks showing us just how happy you can be with a bunch of water and some sand! He also has a blog of his own www.wwllchampions.blogspot.com if you want to read about his life.

Renee Wilmouth...just chillin out! She was very instrumental in putting this whole thing together, and our resident photographer for the weekend...Thanks Renee!

We spent the whole day just catching the waves....

And playing in the sand...
