One of the most important things to me and my wife is family. My wife is from south Louisiana and getting together for a crawfish boil, fishing trip, Destin beach lounging or a LSU football game is a regular occurrence. For my family it's camping, golfing, BBQ or traveling. We recently got together with my family to attend a church picnic at my parents church. Now if you haven't been to a church picnic (basically a fundraiser) in small South Texas its a sight to behold.

There are games for the kids, a cake walk and a auction where Quilts go for as much as $1,000 and a dozen Kolaches can fetch $100! If you haven't heard of or had a Kolache you are in for a treat! Its a pastry that holds fruit and they are crazy good. While we were there I photographed my sister and her family and capturing the relationship they have with their kids which was the best part of the trip...aside from homemade pickles and kolaches!

Enjoy...
