Vada & I having funLast night was our oyster roast, which we get excited for every year. It was a blast, and we had so much help from some good friends to put it all together. Anna Leigh & the girls came Friday & she was amazing helping with preparations & the boys.
We found out Friday afternoon that it would not be possible for us to buy oysters on Saturday, a slight bump in the road considering that's what this party is all about! Oyster season opens on the 15th each year, but it fell on a Saturday & commercial fisherman aren't allow to sell oysters on weekends. When getting them for recreation, you're only allowed to bring in 1 bushel....but we were hoping for at least 4 for the night. So John rounded up 3 other good friends & headed out late afternoon & pulled back in about an hour & a half before the guests began arriving!
I'm sure the guys were all worn out, but they made our night. There were plenty to go around & they were still steaming them up at 1am. Amazingly, Filson didn't want to miss one single moment of the party, finally crashing around 2am. He was in seventh heaven running around with the other kids & having access to unlimited cookies & juice boxes. I wish I had some of that energy!

WOW!!! What a party! Look at all those oysters! I can't believe that John and his friends caught all of those! And I can't believe that Filson was up until 2AM! He doesn't want to miss a beat, does he! :) Looks like a fabulous time and a lot of work, too!
Looks like a great party! I hope Filson was able to sleep in the next day!
Man, oh, man! Wish we could of been there for your annual oyster roast! Interesting to hear about the commercial fishermen not being able to sell on wkends. The whole thing is just plain interesting to this land locked gal!!! Crazy that Filson was up till 2 AM!! Hope that he slept in on Sunday! I'm sure the band played some great tunes. So cool that you host this each year. You and John are super hosts!
