My 25-member family is at the beach this week. Every year we all pile into one house and have a mega blast together! Whenever you get this many of us in one place you can bet we'll be doing a lot of eating! These traditions seem so natural to me after doing them for the last 28 years, but this year I saw them through fresh eyes and I thought I would share with you a two part post about the way we eat at the beach!
Although it's not fresh seafood... heck, who really knows what's in these things anyways... we always have a "dogs on the beach day." Uncle Bill lugs out his charcoal grill and cracks open a few cans of chili. (Please note that we do use very authentic shell serving utensils!)
This year the guys whipped up a table out of some driftwood we found in the dunes, pretty impressive I'd say, complete with a lower shelf and trash bag hook! 
This year we rivaled Kobayashi in our hot dog consumption! Hot dogs taste so much better on the beach!

Thanks, so much, for this blog entry. We're planning for our 1st reunion of 26 grown-kids and gr-kids next week. I'm planning a GLUTTON COMPETITION of Jello, etc for the young ones. This gives me good ideas!
