Welcome To Texas....Texas Style :)

Brad and Lesha had a "Welcome to Texas" party for us.  Little did we (or anyone else) know that it wasn't going to be the typical party.  But...I guess it is pretty typical for Brad and Lesha.  They had everyone sit down at the tables and then had everyone pick a  number.  That number was to be used to pick our eating utensil and drink utensil.  There were no typical forks, spoons, or knives.  Then, after our utensils were given to us, the food was "served".  On the table....no plates.  I have to admit that we all had a pretty good time watching others figure out how to pick up that bean or piece of potato salad.  But....it was DELICIOUS food.  Smoked brisket, baked beans, potato salad, and coleslaw.  YUM!  We just need to remember that nothing "typical" happens in Texas :)

This is what I got to eat and drink with.  A wooden spoon with a hole in the middle, and a water bottle.  

Everyone checking out their eating and drinking utensil.

Potato salad being served.  Also, a good picture of the eating utensils

Poor Dad.  This was what he got to eat and drink with

Food is being served.  Looks great.....if it was on a plate :)  FYI:  the plate on the table was actually August food.  The kids got to eat before the adults.  Then all those plates got thrown away before we had a chance to use them.

What a mess!  Table clothes made for easy clean up though!

Jerry's drinking utensil!  Notice his eating utensil....a silver spoon :)

Darren's new diet plan.  Eat with a giant toothpick!  He did ok  util it came to eating the beans....one bean at a time :)

We really did make a mess!

After supper, we got bowls and cups and spoons to eat the cake and ice cream!
