my family is so much cooler than yours.

oh that's right--they are.  we held the 28th annual Jarvis Harvest a couple of weeks ago back in North Carolina.  to TRY and sum up a great weekend let's just say this:


about 50 of my closest family members get together every year on the Currituck Sound in North Carolina to celebrate our rich heritage.  we spend 2 days drinking, eating way more than our weight in homemade southern food, and celebrate the fact that there are 50+ of us who still enjoy each other enough to hang out for 2-3 days! 


oh, and did i mention it's on the water so not only do we eat & drink all weekend, but we also get to play water volleyball, go skiing, sailing, and swim!


here are a few of my 300+ pictures i took.  enjoy--it'll make you feel like you're part of the great Jarvis clan!

quadruple solitaire--try it. you'll love it!

my little friend for the weekend!

the newest addition to our family--little Eli!

you'll never see a better sunset than at Currituck.

oh yeah--we had t-shirts made!

we like to have fun.

and we love to love each other.

and of course we love to drink--but
i think that goes without saying!

there we all are! Jarvis Harvest 2011.

she's the cutest!

 and we like to play/sing/listen to music.

and of course we love to ski on perfectly
smooth water on a lovely Sunday morning!

sometime's it's just more fun to swim
in your birthday suit :)

and of course we're such a loving family,
we love to hold hands in a circle and thank
God how freaking lucky we are!
