Uncle Ringo's BBQ

This weekend, after lots of shopping in NY for the new house, we went to a BBQ in Jersey at Phil's Uncle's house. He's not really an Uncle, just a friend of the family, but when you're Chinese everyone's an Uncle or an Aunt...Anyway, his Uncle Ringo has an annual BBQ every summer. Now that we're back in the tri-state area Phil was actually able to attend this year.
Here's Uncle Ringo and his wife at the grill.
There were burgers, hot dogs, ribs, chicken - lots of yummy food.
After all the eating Phil got taken over by food coma and took a little nap on the lawn.
In the meantime Phil's mom and Aunt's went pear picking. They started picking pears from a tree on the edge of Uncle Ringo's property. We're still not sure who technically owns the tree, him or his neighbors...At one point Phil's mom climbed up the tree to get to more of the pears. Then they decided to make it easier and just started pulling branches off the tree. Here's his Aunt holding one of the branches.
All the kids were laughing, but Phil's Aunt Ruby swore that the pears were really sweet...just not this one apparently...

After everyone was done eating and the excitement over the pears died down Phil, his cousins and one of his Aunts decided to kick off their ritual volleyball game. First his cousin Kevin took a ride on the swing set...from the sounds it was making I don't think the swing set was very happy.
Here are some pictures of the volleyball game.
