Johnson Mother's Day at Catfish Hotel

Let me begin by saying the Johnson family is huge! Let me explain. Russ's dad is one of five brothers. Our part of that family alone is made up of sixteen people! So, you can imagine the crowd when all five brothers and their families come together. For Mother's Day, we decided to take Munu (Russ's grandmother) out to eat with the family at the Catfish Hotel. Unfortunately, Munu wasn't able to come. But, many of the Johnsons still got together to celebrate Mother's Day dinner.

Before leaving we presented Russ's parents with their Mother's and Father's Day gift. It was a new grill. A very nice grill if I do say so myself! Their old grill was a hand-me-down from Jimmy and Roan when they lived in Corinth. So, it was definitely time for an upgrade. I think they are very happy, and Jan cannot wait for us to all get back together so she can grill!

After the presentation of the grill, we were off to Catfish Hotel! We had a great time eating All You Can Eat Catfish...well, I actually got chicken tenders. I know, boring kid meal! We also enjoyed visiting with other Johnsons that we never get to see. It was a much needed "catch-up" dinner.

After dinner the kids were dying to skip rocks in the water. So, we spent some time outside before leaving. And, of course, we got a family photo. Thank goodness for Prentiss and Bo, who were innocently trying to have their own Mother's Day dinner, when we called them over to take pictures. Thanks PK and Bo!

The Johnsons

For those critical observers, as Russ calls it, you may be thinking, "Isn't that the same outfit you were sporting in your previous post?" Well, the answer is YES! Yes, I did rewear this outfit without washing it. Why? Because I recently purchased the cutest flip flops from Russ's aunt, and my pink skirt went perfectly with them. So, I made sure to show them off!

Meme's Doodles Flip Flops! Super cute! I even bought my mom some buttons to match mine for the flip flops I gave her last year from Debbie. Very popular!

Overall, we had a great time celebrating Mother's Day with the Johnsons!
