Family BBQ

Despite all the rain that was in the forecast we carried on as planned for the get together BBQ on Saturday. The forecast said 70% chance of rain and/or thundershowers. Well for once the weather man was right on. We had intermittant showers and thunder/lightening most of the day. That didn't dampen any spirits however! We had good company and good food and it was absolutely wonderful to get together with the family! We roasted a turkey in one of those oil turkey roasters. Some of us were a might scepticle about the oil factor and the greasiness of the meat. We were all really pleasantly surprised....the 18lb turkey was cooked in less than an hour and was so tender and moist and no oily taste!
Here is part of the spread will some diggin in!

Thumbs up!!! Ryan gives his approval!!

Socializing...chit chatting...whatever you want to call it....it was great!

We also got to meet our newest member of the family...our great niece Denay. Just over 2 weeks old in this picture.

Here is another great niece Mya with her buddy Kole.

The Wii was certainly a hit!!! I have no idea what game they were playing but by the hoots and hollerin, it was certainly an intense game!

All into it...
Victory...for Trevor...
Our great nephew Kyle ....
In between the rain...the pool was fun too! Here Brittany and Brice have some laughs.

Sheenah and Mya...

All in all we had a great day! It was so wonderful to get together with family and just hang out and catch up. My aunt and 2 cousins came out too which was so special! It has been too long in coming! I would love to make this an annual thing but that may be stretching it. However will take what I can get! Had fun with all you guys!! Come back again soon!
