BBQ fun

On Sunday we went to a local park for a barbeque with friends. Originally, it was supposed to be just us and the Creech family, but then Judy mentioned that she had wanted to do a bigger get together but didn't want to do it alone. I am always game for large gatherings of friends and family so we decided on a joint party. We each invited friends and family, I took care of the location and invites, and Judy took care of the shopping spree at Costco.

It was a beautiful day at the park. The kids had fun playing on the play structures and exploring. Gina went off with Gabriel and his dad for a walk through the "forest". Alice got to spend some more quality time with Dylan.

The guys spent awhile figuring out how to start the BBQ. The one thing we forgot to bring was matches, but luckily someone at the park had a lighter so no one had to make the trek up the hill. As always with potluck type parties, we had a ton of food, especially yummy desserts.

This is a picture of Andrew quite pleased with himself for finding his new hat. The hat had arrived by mail on Thursday and for awhile on Sunday it looked as if it might already be lost. But at some point he ended up with his hat again. Hopefully he will hold on to it for the summer.
