a going away gathering

The Woods and the Pates threw a little going away party today. Way to much food, but oh so good. Chicken, tri tip and ribs. Home made faccacia bread cooked on the grill, and tasty tasty beans., ohh and the dessert--cheesecake, to die for brownies and Lisa's award winning apple pie!

yummy ribs

Sarah giving the twins there dessert

Courtney and Jack (who either ate ribs or brownies or both)

First Sydney went for Dommies Bice

then Courtney wanted his car

He wasnt going to let that happen

not without a fight

and down they went!

a fun time was had by all. It's going to be so hard to leave but thankfully we didnt talk much about us actually leaving and we made plans to see everyone again before we leave so it wasnt actually a going away party... The Smiths were there too but they somehow managed to stay away from the camera...
