Family BBQ

Since PFC Christopher J Goodale is home for a four-day weekend, we got the entire family together for a BBQ. It was FAR TOO COLD out to do a swim party/BBQ, but with temps in the mid-40s, I stood outside and BBQ'd, and our nearly-adopted-son Andrew Clark was my "runner" taking food inside to all the warm eaters. :-)

We have had SO MUCH FUN living here in Boise, near where so many of Michelle's cousins (the Dillons) live. Of Steven and Ruth's nine kids, five of them live in this area, and we always have a GREAT time!!! And since the Dillons do this GREAT Haunted House every Halloween, we used the opportunity tonight to plan for the big event. The panoramic photo here is stitched together from five shots taken in our family room during the planning. We planned, and we laughed until we cried. :-) Very good times.

Michelle's cousin Mike took a good half of the photos tonight, as I was pretty busy BBQ'ing for some 30 people. Thanks, Mike! To take a look at all the pics, please click on the Facebook photo album here.
