Family Cookout at the Beach for Emma's Birthday

On Friday of our beach trip since Aunt Lo-Lo and Uncle Fuzzy had made it in and it was Emma's birthday, we decided to have a huge cookout.  We made potatoes, salad, beans, steak, fish, shrimp, scallops...it was a real feast.  And just check out the number of Chef's it took in the kitchen to make it all possible.

Then of course it took all the Johns men to man the grill.  At least we managed to cook this time without starting a grease fire!  

Zoey was hamming it up with the birthday girl and her new BFF Emma while dinner was cooking. 

 Here are a couple photos once we have all finished dinner and have moved onto Emma's birthday cake and presents.  It really was a great night.
