Day 6 (part b) - It's a Fish Fry!

It was time for the Fish Fry!! Uncle Bob & Aunt Reba, Uncle Bennett & Aunt Sue, Ms. Donna, Harley, Harley's friend in addition to Grandma, Grandpa, and all of us were together on this day to enjoy some really great food! Grandpa cooked the fish and the ladies "threw together" some sides which resulted in a really great meal. The boys really enjoyed visiting with everyone! A common theme of our trip was that the boys just loved meeting everyone and was willing to go to anyone that was willing to hold them. There were plenty of people to hold them so it is a good thing there were plenty of babies to go around! Here are some pictures from the Fish Fry...

Andrew & Uncle Bennett share a moment....

Aunt Sue & Wesley sharing some laughs...

Wesley & Jared are guarding the door! Some of the men ate outside and the boys wanted to be out there with them. Uncle Bennett plays through the glass door...
Wesley loved to play with the old time radio in the corner. He kept trying to figure out what went in this slot. The reality of this situation is that he will probably never know about this "old" cassettes that would go into that mysterious slot. He will probably laugh if I mention a CD. I wonder what they will be using to listen to music when they get older...
Ms. Donna & Jared. Jared has become very conditioned to the camera. When he sees the orange light shine which is prior to the flash, he immediately lights up with the perfect smile. Prior to this picture, he was sitting in Ms. Donna's lap and was falling asleep. His eyes were getting heavy and he was starting to nod off. I took out the camera to take a picture and the second it hit his face he "struck his pose" and was all smiles. His ability to "love" the camera is impressive!! Jared is also quite the flirt and was a charmer with the ladies during the weekend. When Ms. Donna arrives with Harley and her friend, the boys were all eager to play. Below is a picture of Wesley and Andrew hanging out with the girls...

The boys enjoyed all of the attention they received. I truly enjoyed meeting everyone. We have received so much "virtual" support from our family at a distance that it was nice to give everyone an opportunity to meet the boys.
After the great food at the Fish Fry, Grandpa Dooker cooked some venison. It was really great! In addition to the boys being spoiled with all of the attention, Mike and I were totally spoiled with all of the great food. YUM!

One last note, I planned for the boys to wear a short sleeve shirt with the khaki shorts. It was a little cold on this date so we decided to put on shirts with long sleeves. It was not until they were fully dressed that I realized they looked like little Target employees....ha, ha!


Take care,
