veen on the road: pictures of pete [and friends].

I already wrote about the wonderful time I had celebrating little brother Pete's 30th birthday with the Goodrich crew and extended family and friends, but today I would like to share a few more pictures from the weekend. I tried to get pictures of as many people as I could, but as per usual, I mostly walked around with my camera and spent more time talking as opposed to actually taking photos. Nevertheless, I ended up with some pretty good gems, so without further ado, I give you Pete's surprise 30th birthday celebration as seen through the lens of my camera:

[kelly and pete. love these two a whole, whole lot]
