8-15-08 Choffin Family BBQ

Just after we got back from Warm River, Uncle Chas (my dad's older brother) and his family came to visit! Chas, Rita and Morgan (Lauren is working in Virginia) all came to visit for 4 days and it was so much fun to see them after so long! Dad's biological mother passed away earlier this summer, and has brought her children closer together. After being raised apart and not being in contact until their adult lives. We are happy to have them back in our lives...and really enjoyed spending time together. It was weird to see my Dad and Chas together, and their mannerisms and what they would say were crazy alike! My mom and Rita were like two girlfriends and Talea and Morgan were also joined at the hip. Chase, who is usually shy to new people, warmed right up to Uncle Chas a couple nights before the BBQ, and by then was so comfy with him, he was climbing all over him and playing. It was so good to see my dad and Chas together...there's nothing like brothers shooting the breeze.
