Definitely the best lab ever 🥰
In case it was unclear that I have the best lab ever…I do! Just a regular ‘girls night out’ and boy was there singing 😉

A long overdue get together to celebrate the arrival of summer. Great company fun conversations, we all learned a lot…😉. Take note that @catfigueiredo.bsky.social has her eyes (well at least one) open! This was the only one out of 12 pictures…her secret super power!
