Also in August (actually the same day as the zoo), we had a BBQ with my family… parents, siblings/spouses, and kids.

We ate outside on some picnic tables on a piece of land my parents own neighboring my brother’s house. So far the land has been used only for gardening and for the storing all manner of random things my parents can get their hands on.

Here is a picture of the most of us. Notice the weird faces people are pulling. And notice the random pile of wood and foam core in the background. And notice, if you can, the tent under which we are all sitting… you can’t really tell from the picture, but it was once a giant vinyl banner for some company – now its a redneck canopy.

But the best part about being a redneck…

Is the entertainment.

Now, it should be noted, that I love my family dearly. And I’m not really trying to make fun of them (or us). Ok, yes I am. But I do have a pretty exciting family, you have to admit! Love you guys!
