rimes family spring fling

every memorial day weekend, chris' mom's side of the family gathers in alma, ga at the farm house where mrs. cathy and her brothers & sisters grew up. we always tell people that what we do there can be summed up in three words: talk, eat, sleep. in other words, it's a wonderful time of relaxation & fun!it took us just under five hours on friday to drive there. eva is a great traveler!it was raining off & on most of the weekend, so the ground stayed muddy. good thing we brought our boots! here i am with chris' cousin jay's little girls, emma & grace. (i think that would make them my second cousins-in-law?)
my favorite meal of the weekend is mr. mike's low country boil:
we stayed at chris' aunt trudy & uncle randy's house. their son will, and his wife, amanda have a sweet 2 year old son, michael and a 6 year old boxer named sugar raye (clever, huh?). here's sugar & eva being sweet:
on sunday night, we played what seemed like a never-ending game of phase 10. in actuality, it lasted just over 4 hours and ended a little before 2am. the later it got, the sillier we got. chris' brother kevin (in the light blue) & his girlfriend andra won, but i was excited that i finally made all 10 phases!
