safari pix

this post requires background information..you can't just jump right into it. me and mike and beck and her daughter and tonya and her boys all met up to get our pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. with us all being photographers, we couldn't think of a better way to get together, and now that we've all been split up (through transfers and quitting and such) we decided it would be fun to go to the studio's safari event and take pictures of each other and of us together. i know, i know, we're weird, but hey, we had fun and nobody asked you what you think. lol. anyway, tonya randomly already had her own gorilla suit, so we couldn't pass up this opportunity. hahahahaha. well, you know how it is when crazy photographers get together. one thing led to another, and before you know it rubber ducks and frozen bananas and fur are flying all over the room and beck is swinging on a whip made to look like a vine and tonya's running around beating her chest and making monkey faces and mike is covered in ducks and i can't stop laughing...no matter how hard i tried. i think we got more pix of us then the kids, but it was a ton of fun. anyway, take a look for yourself. oh. and we're going to do it again next month. different theme. we need suggestions for halloween costumes, so if you have any, lemme know. brace yourself, here are the pix:
