Food & "Fun"

Here's our crew: Cousin Sam, Tio, Lyla, Tia, Me, Josie, Louie, Grandma, DD, Aunt Pat, Cousin Katie, Pam & Uncle Denny...Whew! Long story short - this was the night we decided to get a drink during the heat of the day...
And these are the photos of the first and only night we decided to go out to dinner. The pictures sort of speak for themselves... While all is calm at the "grown-up" table...
Josie has to be fed standing up...
And Lyla pukes on the table, Katie & Sam pulled a prank on Louie and 4 hours later we were all fed but flat broke. Two key lessons learned for large family vacations: 1) if the gal on the phone tells you that there isn't a wait at Stinky's Fish Camp - she's lying just to get your business and 2) when there are fourteen mouths to feed - eat at home. :) So, the rest of the week we feasted on home cooked meals which worked out great!
Grandaddy grilled some delicious Alabama Farmer's Market Corn...
Grandma made enough lasagna to feed us for two days and Louie made an epic Mexican feast complete with homemade salsa that even Josie enjoyed. (In fact, this photo actually tells a side story. Josie ate more chips in one week than she's ever had in her life - every thing from tortilla chips to Katie's sour cream & onions. When we got home and returned to our normal routine with Carissa - Josie asked her for chips as her snack on Monday. We had to explain that was just a "vacation thing" which she seemed to understand. Thankfully.)
