A Derby Gathering

We decided (very) last minute to have some friends over for the Kentucky Derby this past weekend.  We had so much fun having some friends-and their kids over! The Conners came with Brad and Jane and the Grosses came with Owen and Emma.

Eddie cooked a big pork shoulder and everyone brought sides.  We made mint julups and had a great time hanging out with friends!

The kids loved having friends over...

 



 After dinner, the crew went on the back porch for some ice cream sandwiches.  The kids all sat in a row.  It was too cute not to take a picture! (of course Hank had to be right there with everyone)

 The kids played outside and got filthy so we decided to throw them all in the tub! They had a great time all taking a bath together--haha!

The Grosses weren't ready to go home, so they put the kids to sleep at our house so we could keep hanging out! We were going to put Owen on Cal's floor and Emma on Andy's floor, but Owen and Emma like to share a room at home so they wanted to be together on Cal's floor and Andy didn't want to be left out, so he went in there too!


Everyone fell asleep...but Andy.  At 11:15 he was still in the room talking to the walls and hollering down to us.  Eddie went upstairs to lay with him...and never came back down...! ha!






Sweet Owen fell asleep hard....



 Cal was in his bed, then Owen, then Eddie, then Andy, then Emma! A worn out crew!

It was a fun night with super fun friends.  Eddie and I feel so blessed and lucky to have such great friends in our lives.  Good people, good fun!
