Brunch With The Bunch

Following Easter morning services at our church in Hillsdale, Kansas, we joined my son-in-law, John Crowl, and my daughter, Becky, along with their four children and the three Moore boys, sons of my daughter, Cindy. As many of you know, John and Becky took in Cindy's three boys following her death. So John and Becky now have a household of seven kids, which we affectionately refer to as our "Brady Bunch".

We met our "Brady Bunch" at the Sheridan Hotel in Overland Park, Kansas, for an Easter Brunch. I guess you could say we were having "Brunch With The Bunch".

The layout and atmosphere in the room where the brunch was set up in the Sheraton was awesome . . . a large ballroom with a twenty-plus foot high ceiling. The brunch buffet tables and bars were attended by a large number of chefs, who were cooking and serving the guests.


Some chefs were cooking omelets, some steaming oysters, some preparing special soup arrays, and some preparing on-the-spot desserts such as Bananas Foster. Others were carving meats such as prime rib, ham, roast pork, and rack of lamb. Several different kinds of shrimp were spread out along with an endless supply of King Crab legs. Of course, numerous salads were offered along with a considerable number of side dishes.

It was a little "pricey", but our "Brunch With The Bunch" was really, really nice.

And, of course, no Easter gathering is complete without the Easter Bunny. There he is visiting Carole and I.


What a wonderful experience! An absolutely fantastic brunch spread, the Easter Bunny, and, most of all, a very memorable "Brunch With The Bunch" . . . our "Brady Bunch".
