Annual Bocce Party/family reunion caricatures!

This party was a blast from the past...when I arrived, the host and hostess told me I had drawn at the uncle's home in Delaware around fifteen or more years ago. Their family has held a bocce party/family reunion in June for 37 years!!!!!! I am trying to find pictures from the first one, no luck yet. But the kicker was, I'd included some of their cousins in my very first "Caricature Reaction" video, here on Youtube (they are at 4:30). They also may have been my VERY FIRST stealth caricature reaction video!!!! I remember the then-new Canon camera I'd just gotten, that had video capability!

First, here are some pics of happy guests under the trees in their beautiful backyard in MD, just over the DE line:

This guy was drawn with his daughter and then his wife! And looks the same in each one ;-)
My happy clients on the bottom here.
The lady on the left is an eminent local watercolorist so we had a nice chat. 
Another two-time-subject: she got one with her dad (the very 1st photo. way above) and this one is with her brother (hence the BFF).

So here are the long-ago subjects, as seen on my Youtube video. They weren't in attendance this time. The kid is probably 30 years old by now!
On the bottom, is a caricature done in 2006 by my friend Pat Harrington, of the late parents of my client. They were missed, but on display, and still making folks smile... This is another reason (among many!) why caricatures are awesome!

Thanks for having me!!! :-D
