Devin and Eileen were so kind to have all of us to their home for a barbecue after the surprise open house at the Hooper Park. We devoured wonderful hamburgers, brats, and hotdogs that Devin grilled for us. (even though he couldn't eat any of them) Eileen set such beautiful tables in their gorgeous yard. The family was happy to eat, visit, and talk about the surprise party for mom. We were so happy that Uncle Chuck, Aunt Connie, Cousin Ann and Gary drove from Woodruff and Evanston for the barbecue. The kids enjoyed a good game of kickball and of course had a water fight with freezing cold ice water. Mom seemed happy to sit and visit with her family.
