A Cookout

Saturday evening Mama Flo, Steven and Anna came over for a cookout. Our little friend Samuel, who is visiting from South Carolina, was with us also.

Saturday Evening

Saturday evening after the wedding we invited the out-of-town guests over for dinner. Several families had to drive home that night, but we had 80 friends who stayed for the evening. It was such an enjoyable time and there were people everywhere! :)

In the living room...

...the dining room...

...the music room...

...the garage...

...the chicken house...

...on the driveway...

...the backyard, and anywhere else they could find a place.

We had such a fun time with everyone!
