birthdays and jetskis

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Today was sister #3's birthday so the entire family (all sisters, 1-6, and related spouses, boyfriends, children, etc as well as the parental units and a few friends) got together for a meal at the cabin on the lake. Sister #3 is a big fan of deep-fried foods so me being the Deep-Fry Queen, I brought out my fryer and the various mixes and items needed and fried up the following:

• popcorn size chicken nuggets
• hush puppies
• fried okra

These were served with buttermilk biscuits, slaw, and ice tea. Yummers! Sister's husband brought out a fancy cake and that was enjoyed with ice cream and all in all, it was a delicious, erm, I meant a great night!

After the meal and presents and cake, the jet ski was put to use and just before we left, I realized I hadn't taken any photos. Derrr! I meant to shoot the fried meal. Oh well. I did manage to get these few shots in as we were leaving. Enjoy!

The rider is sister #2's husband. The swimmers are sisters #4 and 6. Sister #4 was riding with BIL #2 and got thrown completely off when he cut a sharp turn. We all screamed with laughter - it was pretty funny. I didn't have my cellphone ready then.. that would have been a great shot!
