Sunday after church we headed to our neighborhood pool with our lunch and after a few minutes there we ended up being the only family for almost two hours so it was nice to have the pool for ourselves this afternoon. Kalyn and Noah are getting much better at swimming. Kalyn can jump in now doing the "cannon ball" as seen here.
Noah has to be told to keep his toes on the edge before jumping in as he will otherwise jump so close to the edge it scares us he will hit his head one day on the edge! He isnt afraid of anything it seems!
Kalyn now can dive down and getting "divers" as she calls them on the bottom and here she is getting ready to find some more....
For supper David wanted to do the Huntley Feast which is something his Dad, who passed away two years ago, used to do for their family of four on Saturday nights regularly. I think they just called it supper but we named it "The Huntley Feast" as it is basically so much food it is a "feast"! We did it just the way Pops used to by grilling out steaks, hamburgers AND hotdogs. Then inside I was making scalloped potatoes, mushrooms and onions for the steaks and texas toast. Of course we all had to make salads and have a plate of cheese, deviled eggs, carots, celery and olives too! Oh and also while we cooked and ate the delicious meal we enjoyed Pops Beach music as well!
Here is the meat platter!
This is the setup before we could dig in. Of course we couldnt eat much at all but lucky enough we now have leftovers for the whole week which means NO COOKING for me :)
SO as we are now stuffed and feeling kind of sick from eating too much I have to say we actually had a very very great weekend and hope all of you fathers did as well :)

Wow, looks like y'all had a great Father's day weekend! that's great that you had the pool to yourself. Nice! What a yummy spread! Love to have leftovers all week too! Glad you had a great Father's Day weekend! Love the pictures of the kids swimming!
Your Father's Day looks like it was pretty near perfect! I love the pics of Kalyn jumping and swimming in the pool!
That Huntley Feast looks pretty serious, man oh man!
Oh yummy, the food looks amazing. Maybe we should start the McKinstry family feast and store up leftovers for the week, so I won't have to cook :o). Glad you all had a nice relaxing weekend with the family.
Love the pics of the kids swimming, so cute!
