Trinity Fish Fry

Last Saturday, we had a church fish fry at our house.  It was supposed to happen on Labor Day but due to Tropical Storm Lee  we had to postponed it a couple of weeks.

It turned out to be a beautiful day with comfortable temperatures.  Down here in the South, if the suns out and you can stand outside without sweat pouring down your face, it’s a lovely day…at least for me:)

They cranked up the fryers on the back porch of Rob’s shop.  They had four of them going in order to cook all of the fish, hushpuppies, french fries, and tater tots.

They cooked hot dogs for anyone who didn’t want fish.

Pastor Dale looks like he’s giggling in this picture.  Really it was him just giving me a big, funny smile because I asked him to look at the camera!

Poor little Jacob was tired and took a nap in the swing hanging from the tree near the patio.

Silly girls…don’t you know that your momma doesn’t like you to play in the sand!!!

The boys got a game of football going along one of the sides of the house.  We also had horseshoes set up on the other side of the house.

We caught Cole playing on the patio with a big piece of fish in his hands.  One of the other little people thought he needed to eat some more so they came him a whole piece.  He was so cute and content just enjoying his fish.  Until I came to take his picture and he threw it on the ground!!!

We had kids playing cards around the table in the breakfast area earlier in the day.  Here’s Luke and Cade playing chess:

It was another great fellowship.  We enjoyed our time with our church family and friends.  Thank you Lord for providing us with a beautiful day with “cooler” temperatures.

Thanks to our men who fried all of the food!  It tasted delicious.

With Mr, Jimmy there working on the fish...I know it had to be good! I have NEVER liked fish except his!

Looked like it was a wonderful day! I am glad you guys had a nice time! Lord-willing, we will be there for the next!
