Saturday BBQ

After the NightRider event on Friday we headed back to the house to get ready to go out. Nothing big, Jess was a good sport and went on a blind date- I guess she trusts us! The got to hang with us old folks for the night. The four of us met up with Marcee and Lance for some chineese food. There was lively conversation, a lot of surf talk and good stories to go around. After dinner we were going to do a fire in the back yard and make Smores, it was cold out and a fire sounded good, but the boys wanted to do a double header and were afraid that would take too long so instead we made Pizzokies. Marcee whipped up some home made cookie dough for the occasion and I think Matt filled up on just the cookie dough! I didn't make it through the double header. I lasted through the first movie but I was out a few minutes into the second one. Apparently I was the only one that fell asleep- no surprise there.

Saturday we got up late and decided to do a last minute BBQ. I put the invite out and Thomas and Michelle and Katee headed over with their kids. The weather forecast said it was going to be stormy and rain, but despite the overcast morning it ended up being a beautiful day. We usually don't start BBQing until early May, the pool is still too cold, but the weather was perfect for hanging out in. We did heat up the Jacuzzi or "kids pool" as they like to call it. The warm water really did feel good. All the kids were fun, Little T and Michael (and Thomas) were brave enough to jump in the pool and did it over and over.

Gehrig cracked me up, he would walk around the step in the Jacuzzi and say "excuse me" to Jess so she would move out of his walking track. He also threw up his hands like he was a tiger and would say "RAHHHH!" and giggle at any of us that would act scared. Then he would crawl up and "jump" to Matt. Never really got his feet far off the ground it was more like a fall but it was very entertaining. Matt cooked up some Terriyaki burgers and hot dogs. While I was in the kitchen with Jess and Michelle he came running in and said, hey do you need a picture of a lifeguard and flaming burgers?

Good times! Saturday night Jess went out with a friend from Utah that recently moved down here and we headed over to Thomas and Michelles for game night, Jess and her friend joined us after their movie. I won the first game, was mediocre through all the ones after that until I finally won the last game of the night. Headed home tired and happy, it was a good day!
