The title is a shout out to my cousin Jon-David. When we were little and our family was much larger than it is now we had get togethers every month at different people’s houses. He always called them eatin meatins. Unfortunately we don’t get together now as often as we used to but we had a great old fashioned eatin meatin last weekend at Uncle Mike’s. The weather was perfect, the location was perfect, the food was amazing, and everyone had a great time! Here are just a few of the pictures from the day. I may put some more up tomorrow but I really need to go to bed so this is all I’ve got for tonight.
