Family Day 2008

Another great Family Day! We all headed up to the cabin for a day of football on the TV, trays filled with veggies and monster shrimp, and picking on Mike Riley. I'm glad we were all able to get up there. Thanks very much to Katie for coordinating the Bunco game. Congratulations to Karen for winning first place!!!

We had a great turkey (squash for the veggie-oriented ones among us) dinner at the Ocean Sierra restaurant. It was a classic moment when the waitress asked Darin if he wanted a drink. After he asked her what sodas were available and she got this deer-in-the-headlights look about her and turned to go and ask. It's for moments like this that we haul ourselves up to the woods!

We were missing someone very dear to us. There was some sadness. Knowing how she felt about the grandbabies, however, she must have been proud of us for going there and carrying on the family tradition. The kids seemed to have a good time cruising in the Mule and giving everyone knuckles, and for her, that's what mattered. I'm glad we did it and I'm already looking forward to next year. One of these years, I'm going to get it together and get Family Day t-shirts made...
