Summer Tour Stop 9 - Crab Feast

 Stop 9 on our Summer Tour was Charles Town, WV to Matt and Tiff's house for the Annual Crab Feast!  In recent months it has also been called Crab Fest and Crabapolooza by certain parties (ahem, Kristi and Rich).  While it was a blast - it was also the same crazy weekend of the big summer storm that knocked out power all over the place!  It was scheduled for Saturday afternoon and Friday night the power went out!  Matt and Tiff graciously hosted Mom Mom and Pappy, us, Tim and Sara's family, Aunt Sheri, Uncle Chuck and Aunt Peggi, Rich and Kristi and Josh at their house....without power, or running water for toilets, or a/c on a 94F day!  We were all very thankful for their pool and the fun bonfire later that night - as well as the yummy crabs!   

All the girls and Michael did a fashion show for us!  Megan was the MC and they did a great job - Michael was a Ninja, so it was a good "boy" idea for the fashion show among princesses, ballerinas and the like!

 I tried to get a picture of the kiddos...but Sammi fell asleep a split second (literally!) before I took it and Mikey didn't want to be in it...

 Proof

 After the crabs were demolished, we gathered to do a bonfire!

 Kristi and Josh (aka the Bride and Groom as Mom Mom kept calling them) were so cute!  They were super fun with our kids in the pool and then were so cute to see them talking by themselves, jumping on the trampoline together and then lounging in the hammock

Beautiful picture of Megan (and me)

 We had a talent show for anyone who wanted to do something!  Hannah and Mikey did Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

 Caroline played her recorder

S'mores at the end...Dan made a cool stand to rest your sticks on!  They were a hit with the kiddos!
