This weekend, Jen’s family threw a surprise birthday/retirement celebration for her father. His children made him wear a crown to his birthday dinner, but he owned it as if it was his birthright, and we taught him all the proper gang signs to throw when he wears his bling in public.

Sunday’s events were centered around the Oyster Festival, which has become something of a family tradition, and an event Jen and I look forward to every year.

Oysters fried and raw were sampled, to varying degrees of approval.

    Ain’t she though? That has to be one of my five all-time favorite shots I’ve got of her. Look at all the mischief in both of those faces!
