Father's Day Festivities

Happy Father's Day to our dads and Kevin! To celebrate Daddy, we went to the Texas Reds Steak and Grape Festival in Bryan. Contrary to the name of the fastival, our family chose to have neither steak nor grapes, but we did have a lot of fun! The festival spans multiple city blocks, so we saw as much as we could before it got too hot...


Naomi tried fishing in the catfish tank.


We watched the grape stomping competition.


We ate strawberry shortcake, Cubano sandwiches, and lemonade. We also tried some steak samples, got free books, and listened to a guy play the William Tell Overture on a turkey baster (I know you're wondering how... it was filled with water, and he squeezed the bulb to raise and lower the water level to produce notes while blowing across the top... Johnathan loved it). We even played in some snow - shavings trucked in from the ice arena. It was a really fun morning.

After a long nap time, we made Daddy a sausage and shrimp boil for dinner. We steamed it all with corn and potatoes in a pot and dumped it out on butcher paper. Talk about easy cleanup!
