Lunch With A "Wagonload of Winslows"!~



(I have a bit of catching up to do, so bear with me, here...)


After the conference, our dear friends, the Winlsows, from Washington, drove down 8 hours to spend five days at Disneyland for my friend's birthday! On Thursday, we met them for lunch at a restaurant located just outside the park, Tortilla Joe's.

Daddy, reserved us a table,(When Daddy asked if we could reserve a table for 20, the guy looked up to make sure he had heard right.) and we headed to the main gate, where we planned to meet their family.


Soon both of our families were heading for the restaurant, happily visiting. The manager, was very kind, and gave us one large table(A few tables pushed together.), in a more secluded area. We talked, ordered, sampled chips and salsa, and waited while our food was made! It was really funny, watching the waiter go around that "huge table", writing, as fast as he could, our orders, which usually went something like this....



One of us Sebos, would order, and then one of the Winslows, sitting beside them, ordered the same thing! Or it went the other way around!(Tarra and I ordered "the fajita" plate, Ryan and Christian, "The Nachos" plate, and our mother's ordered almost the same things for their younger kids!!!)

Our "large" table.....


(Tarra and I) Waiting for our orders....


We had a great time with their family, visiting and eating! Dad and Mr. Winslow exchanged tricks and jokes. Mama and Mrs. Winslow visited, while Tarra and I filled eachother in on the conference's highlights, etc. Katie and Gracie, chatted. Ryan and Christian's conversation consisted of "Good Movies" and "Moviemaking" and the rest of the kids just plain enjoyed eachother's company.

Joshua Winslow....

Tarra, Lily and I, drinking...at least I'm trying to, but Tarra is suceeding!
Ryan and Chrisitian, in deep disscussion.....
Natey and Daniel, making Daniel Winslow laugh....
I love this picture of Joshy and Lily! They are both SO cute!
Katie and Gracie, placing napkins in their laps.....
Mama, talking with Mrs. Winslow, who is directly across from her.
This huge plate belonged to me, and no, I didn't eat the whole thing! I couldn't believe it's size when the waiter handed it to me. Tarra and I were speechless. I ate what I could and gave the rest to Ryan!

Cleaning.....
After everyone was finished, I snapped this adorable shot of Daniel making Lily laugh!

Why it's perfectly adorable Ashley, but why doesn’t that surprise me :)
All those pictures of us walking back from lunch bring back… um… funny memories. Remember that little stand, *Hint Hint* :)
Love you.

Hey Ashley, great post. It looks like you had a fun time with the Winslows. I'm writing this from Montana, and I am having a fun time with my relatives. I miss you a lot and I look forward to telling you about our trip when we get back. Talk to you later.
