I had fun. LOTS of people eating LOTS of food at the potluck. Otobepelagic even handing out "frog legs" on a stick.  Delicious fish tacos. Still, my appetite was not as big as usual. During the evening, a 10 year old fractured wisdom tooth finally decided to give up the ghost and became infected (and sore). I left a day early on Sunday rather than endure the pain for another day of pictures. Wisdom tooth now gone and happily munching on Do-Si-Do's again.

Otobe looks too comfortable in his truck. Doesn't seem fair to me.
