Black-eyed peas and mango? What a combination!
Poppins, his boss (with son and nephew), and the boys played a rousing game of basketball after they went fishing Saturday morning.
Plenty of fish, and new friends, too!
The Girl put a brown sugar butter glaze on a warm, yummy Apple-Dapple Cake. Handy for using up shriveled apples...
She and Teresa picked some fresh produce from the U-Pick where Stennes was working.
Cutting up carrots for Mean Ol' Mama's
Calabaza con Pollo [Squash with Chicken]. Heavy on vegetables, broth, cumin, garlic, onions...mmmm....
WHAT??!!! Are those giant grapes? No, the boys tried a fun recipe of balloons dipped in melted chocolate, cooled until hardened, popped, and...what's left? A cute chocolate "bowl" that they filled with chocolate mousse. The guests were already stuffed with
Calabaza con Pollo and grilled hamburgers, but they were thrilled with these clever desserts.
...cabbage and potatoes from Stennes's garden...
ChubChub has now begun daily Spanish school. He seemed to enjoy his books. Quite the little man, eh?
Anders, Josiah, and Stennes finished up their band performances with Monday night's Spring Concert. They played very nicely.
The church had a playground that ChubChub enjoyed while the adults "mingled".
The Girl looked so sweet and received numerous compliments on her "springy" hair-do.
Anders was a good clean-up man. He did a fine job, too!
Do you think they're silly enough?
After we left the auditorium, Teresa and Mean Ol' Mama did a duo (barbershop-style) of
Milk and Honey, which the kids request time and time again.
And the fellows wrapped it up with
I'll Fly Away. Sweet boyhood memories...
