Hmm. Giant cut out of a bunny by the mailbox? This must be Bunny Hoest's place!

Hey Mike, great set of photos! I'm frankly surprised that the group shot came out so organized looking. It sure didn't seem that way from where I was standing in the back!
Looks like it was a lot of fun.
Hey Mike -
Great post. Lotsa talent and good looking people.
