A special treat

Yesterday we were invited to have a special treat at the home of Terri and Steve. Steve's daughter, Katie and his two grandchildren, Shane and Grace had come for a visit and so they were having a Lobster meal as a treat.

I cannot remember when last I had eaten Lobster or Crayfish as we know it in SA.

I had been having a bit of pain in my hip so have been resting a lot but did managed to do a food shop in the morning so decided that the outing would only do me good as I did need more exercise. After my long nap it was down the stairs again and into the car. We parked outside the front of the house which we had not done on previous visits and I decided there and then that there was going to be some good photo opportunities.

As always Terri had prepared snacks for us to enjoy before the main meal.

Grace only wanted to go downstairs to the basement with Jenni so she could play with the doll's house so I also decided to venture downstairs. On arrival I was so glad I had made the effort as there was so many photo opportunities.

Grace did not want her photo taken so I had to be happy with one of Jenni with Shane in the background.

Terri had made a pizza for those who did not want the Lobster and after her supper Grace was thrilled to be able to enjoy a Chocolate Chip cookie treat.

Angie was very hungry so managed to have a small slice of pizza while she waited for the lobster meal.

She then went with me to the front of the house (to keep me safe) so I could take another picture of the house.

Eventually it was time to prepare the Lobsters, a first for me.

We were having the meal outside so more exercise for me and also more photo opportunities. I sat next to Steve so he could give me guidance as to how to enjoy the meal.

He used the grill to do a hamburger for my sister who is allergic to shell food.

No one was brave enough to use the pool because even though it was hot apparently the water was cold.

 Once inside again I took a picture of the room Steve had renovated 

 and then it was time for more eating. Katie had brought the dessert.

 A delicious end to a lovely afternoon and evening.  Now the rest of today will be a day of rest to recover.
