Chris turned 40!!! What he wanted more than anything to celebrate was to go home and spend his birthday with his family. The boys were so excited to get to go back to MS and see Yiayia and Papou!
On the shuttle to the airport
Big Benny on the plane.
Chris and Sam reading their magazines.
The first things the kids wanted to do was go pick blueberries. Ah, their first lesson in seasons.
They got to pick grapes instead!
And pears.
Grilling souvlaki
George made an awesome chocolate cake! Xronia polla, Xristo (Many years, Christos)!
Happy Birthday to Daddy ... cha cha cha!!!
Daddy's little helpers.
Reading Bob books on his iPad at The Country Gentleman.
Playing Legos with Uncle Costas.
Octopus!!!
Clean it, boil it, cut it up, marinate it over night ...
then grill it.
Seriously, grilled-marinated octopus is delicious!!! If you are in the Dallas area and want to try it for yourself, go to Platia in Frisco. You can order the Oktopodi (pronounced octopothi) appetizer or the oktopodi plate with two sides (not on the menu, btw, but they will make it for you, $14).
Can I please eat here every day? Fresh-from-the-boat fried gulf shrimp, octopus, tomato salad, greek potatoes, and spanikopita. Do you prefer ouzo or tea with your lunch? Do you prefer tzatziki, tartar, or Crystal sauce with your fried shrimp? Nom, nom, nom!!!
Taking a ride on the hay baler ... round bales.
Yep, we wore him out ... okay, he did it to himself.
Caterpillars eating the azaleas.
Time to head back to DFW
So much fun!
