a good-bye picnic for donovan & amy
saturday, august 10th, 2002
prospect park in brooklyn
chris prepares the items for grilling and brendan greets arriving friends.
first off the grill? a chicken appetizer.
as bocce gets under way donovan and amy catch up with friends and describe the house where they'll live in illinois.
dave fills his plate with a variety of tasty meat options. chris happily tends grill, feeding his growing love of outdoor grilling.
rob and mary try to contemplate a fall in new york without donovan and amy.
the afternoon's grilled options get better and better.
roommates sheila and anne enjoy the warm afternoon park weather...as anne is mauled by dave's brother's dog.
having just arrived from washington, erica fills amy in on all the gossip from south of the the mason-dixon line.
because everyone knows the bocce set leaves town with amy and donovan, the afternoon is packed with competition on the lawn.
mary uses the telescoping measuring implement to help score the points in a game filled with tough competition.
still in charge (and working two grills!) chris makes sure justin and anne are fed.
amy offers directions to the picnic location.
jackie, erica and dom
eric & edith make an appearance.
also visiting from dc, mike surveys the scene and quietly wonders when the kickball is going to get underway.
and moments later? a heated game between those born during odd and even months is on!
after kickball, everyone poses for a photo.
things turn silly (sarah bounces a ball with her head and john contemplates getting a manicure). plans are made for the goodbye party that night.
