Dinner by the Lake

Tonight we enjoyed another family dinner hosted by Grandmama and Poppy. We've canceled and rescheduled this fun-filled family event twice, so it was about time that everyone's schedule worked out for Wednesday. It takes a lot of work to put this affair together, so I suggested to just keep it simple and get take out BBQ. Grandmama jumped on this suggestion. Nothing beats slaving in a hot kitchen all day better than take out!

Uncle Clay made a fantastic watermelon, tomato, feta and basil salad. While he was making the salad in the kitchen, Miller enjoyed running around the counters playing hide n' seek with Uncle Clay. He loves all eyes on him and new faces to interact with.

The weather was perfect for gathering on Poppy and Grandmama's back porch overlooking the lake. They just installed a gate off the deck so that Miller can safely play while we eat. He enjoyed playing with his "ba"-ball and "uck"-truck. Occasionally, he would come to the table and beg for a bite of food & then he was off exploring.

After banana pudding dessert compliments of moi'...we strolled on over to the neighborhood playscape for some swinging fun. Uncle Clay brought along his camera for some action shots.
