Well, I we did it!
And yes, the community was glad we did it.
I think we ended up with 28 or so guests. Some arrived just prior to the party time of 7pm.
(Of course, I ignored the early birds until 7PM) and our last guests left at midnight.
Fun was had by all. My girls were a great help and Coach pulled more than his weight.
Did I get any pics of the food table? No. Twas too busy.
But there was a lot of seafood; shrimp, squid salad (not my choice!) crab claws, and some food NOT from the sea too; salads, cuban sammies…Oh, I’m still full!
I ventured into the kitchen at one point only to find this group drinking cider. I learned later on that cider is moonshine; someone brought it from GA. Seriously? They just ruined apple cider for me.
I always forget to get a photo of the four of us when we are all dressed and awake. But I did capture the Coach with the girls just before Linds retired for the night.
The girls always love when their Dad wears his “Cameron” shirt.
A few of our guests also commented that he was wearing a “Cameron” shirt.
Do you know who they are referring to?
Happy Monday my friends!!!

Sounds like the perfect party. And yum on the food! Well, except the squid salad. Squid isn't really my thing.

What a fun party! Minus the squid salad… I don't even want to know what that looks like… In my imagination it's not pretty… I've had moonshine, but not a cider moonshine, I'm intrigued. (perhaps they needed it to get through the squid salad? ha!) You sure throw a great party!!!!!

Clicked over here from Dawn's blog and of course I had to read a bit. Looks like you had a wonderfully fun party! And your conscience should be clear because of all you've done for the community.So your husband has a shirt that Cam from Modern Family would wear, huh? Love that!
