Papelousu Luau


Since Mark, Laura, Spencer, and Andrew joined us on Monday, we've been having a lot of fun. The kids took to camp like a loon does to water and have been tearing up the place, making sand forts, swinging, and climbing. They liked the kayak rides but remain unconvinced about the wisdom of swimming in cold lake waters. To be fair, where they come from there are alligators in the lakes.

We threw out the minnow trap and caught a good 35 crayfish yesterday. Had fun making pools and dumping them in and then watching them escape. They can really get going once they're waterborne.

Last night, thanks to Jenn's largesse, we enjoyed a Papelousu luau complete with coconut drinks. The kids loved it and the parents liked it as well. As usual, the food was excellent -- pork tenderloins on the grill, green beans, corn, and fresh salad. For dessert, a wonderful berry crisp that Jenn had left for us. Ooh, it was yummy.
