Friday, June 20th, 2008 - The LAST family hurrah with Phil & Rachael, for A WHILE at least -- We had everyone over to our home for a last get-together with Phil and Rachael before they leave for Cleveland, Ohio. Phil starts Podiatry School SOON! Rachael begins a new career as a registered nurse at a local hospital. The party was luau themed and the kids swam in the pool while the adults enjoyed DRINKS and BARBECUE! Everyone also enjoyed watching the LSU Tigers try for another CWS win...although it didn't quite turn out the way we wanted it too! OH well, there's ALWAYS next year!! But on a sad note, we will definitely miss Phil and Rachael, and wish them the BEST OF LUCK on their NEW journey together! Maybe one day Phil will be able to fix Brian's hammer toes and caves feet!!
Another LUAU followed the next day, Saturday, June 21, 2008 -- CES's Annual Family Picnic - It was held at Blue Bayou Water Park again this year! It was Chandler's FIRST time going to Blue Bayou and Saylor's 3rd or 4th -- at any rate the KIDS LOVE this place!!! CES had a covered pavilion nicely decorated with the LUAU theme. We had lunch as the door prizes were given away! We walked away with a couple of shirts, a hat, LSU Tiger stuff animal, and a $50.00 gift certificate to BASS PRO SHOPS....WHAT MORE can you ask for?!?!?! After a quick group picture, OFF we went to the park -- First the lazy river, which SAYLOR zoomed ahead of us and PANIC set in...as I thought we lost her! NOPE, there she was PATIENTLY waiting for us at the end! THANK GOD!! After a little chat with Saylor...then we ALL got on the CONGA....a five person slide with a bunch of twists and turns....Chandler absolutely LOVED this one!! We splished and splashed all day long until a thunder storm cloud loomed above. Then, we decided, we'd better make a run for it before we got stuck in all of the CHAOS of people getting out of the park during a thunderstorm. Besides that, we STILL had YET another pool party to go too!! GOSH, I just LOVE the summer time!!
