November 28th

Helpers making Monkey Bread for breakfast!

And then headed into downtown Charlotte on the Lynx.

Another rider...

And more riders...

Not the conductor--it's Bill!

More riders...

Checking out the Hornets Arena, downtown.

Where the Hornets play.

And back home--time for some fishing.

Carter checking out the bait, which was actually grubs found in the dead trees the day before.

A very serious fisherman here!

And then, Friday night's Fish Fry begins...

Bill and Shelley making a very delicious mac & cheese recipe from Stephanie's on Newbury (a delicious restaurant in Boston that Sara had taken us to a few years ago)

Meantime, "Master Chef" Thad preps scallops, shrimp, fish and oysters for our fish fry.   He also made a delicious cole slaw and homemade french fries!

Sara trying to keep things moving in the kitchen.

And so the fish fry begins...

And the grandkids enjoy chicken nuggets and Uncle Thad's homemade french fries.

Let the frying begin...

Shrimp done!

Fish, scallops and oysters-done!

Delicious homemade french fries!

And a double batch of Stephanie's on Newbury Mac & Cheese.

Time to enjoy!

And now back to the deep fryer for Rob's turn...

How about some batter friend...

Chocolate chip cookies, Oreos, brownies, and so on!

Another wonderful day of "being family".
