Watermelon, Rain, & BBQ equals Memorial Day

Brrrrr. Brrrrr. Brrrrr. So what is a gal to do when 21 people are getting together at my house for a BBQ and it rains? You squish them all into the house, silly! Totally not my plan. Dang. Oh well, it actually turned out okay. We just brought in the patio chairs and the kids ate in the "dining room" (I use that word loosely since normally there in no table or chairs in the dining room, ha!), and all of us adults squished in the kitchen and family room. Everyone was great sports about it and luckily it wasn't pouring so the guys didn't actually drown while grilling the meat. But the temp outside was only in the 50's and my hair was little crazy with the humidity. Luckily it is usually DRY since my hair is fluffy/ugly/kinky if there is moisture in the air. But back to the point. We had plenty of good food (thanks to everyone chipping in) and lots of good conversation. That is all you really need for a Memorial Day. Oh, that and lots of watermelon. :)



Hello, did I go a little crazy on the amount of watermelon we needed????

Ellie was in watermelon heaven

The day wrapped up nicely with full bellies and stronger friendships. The kids were happy and so were the parents. AHHHHH.... Now back to real life again, dang.


Sharing a little MP3/love time together at the end of the day
