BBQ at the Lake




Thomas dived off this pier many times and really enjoyed the water.



This beautiful day brought out a lot of boat activity.







I love looking at clouds like this.







Plenty of shade kept the day very comfortable.













The star of the show.












One of the south's traditions, Brunswick Stew.



A bucket of bones after the meat was pulled off.



My personal favorite, the perfectly cooked chickens.



Another view of the pig



Can you tell, the plates were way too small to hold all the different dishes available.




The sweet & pretty Miss Haley Brooke.



Linda's brother Junior greeting his guests. He did an awesome job making everyone feel right at home.









In closing but certainly not least and thinking about Shady's love of animals, Junior's neighbors were there with their two beautiful Labs. The black one really enjoyed the water.

  4. What a wonderful day! Perfect weather, beautiful setting, great company and what a tremendous spread, meal wise! It all looked so well-organised...Wow! After all of that, I'll bet you all needed a good nap...I know I would have! Linda's brother is very fortunate to live in such a super setting, right at the edge of the lake and how nice that he makes it available to everyone for an occasion such as this. Great pictures of everyone, Odie and a lovely one of you and Linda :) I also loved seeing the Labs having a happy time...they were probably royally spoilt with tidbits from everyone :)
