Bring on the BBQ

After Chris & Victoria returned from the Motor ride, we all packed up the car and headed out to the mountains. There was a Ward BBQ - and where I know of BBQ...I am THERE! Hah!

First of all, we all ate. There was some delicious marinated chicken and salads. That is very important for you to know.

There was a fish pond there, so the kids were able to feed them. That was fun. They were jumping all over the place once pellets were thrown in! (Oh - I mean the fish.) We were weary of the little ones falling in, the fish would have gobbled them up in no time!

The guys filled their time with a riveting game of football. I hated standing on the sidelines! I REALLY wanted to play. I had my big chance when one of the guys needed a potty break. YAY! Tag football with all the guys & me...a little awkward...but I made the most of it. I think they underestimated the sneakiness which I possess.

After that we gathered around the fire pit. It had rained most of the day so there was a lack of dry wood. But the kids were so proud that they had gathered wood for the fire - didn't have the heart to tell them that it was for naught.

It was so cute how the boys lined themselves up on the bench to watch the "men" build a roaring fire. Alan was hilarious! At least to me...he was the bellows for the fire. I seriously think that guy breathed smoke for the next week.

Q: How many people does it take to build a fire?

A: Many, especially if the fire is smothered with good intentions.

It was a great night and we had such a fun time. It also helped us to get to know a few more people in our ward a little better.
