Food + Beer + Grill + Friends = an AWESOME time
Usually the 'cookout' is at Jamie's house. And, actually, the last one was, except we were on a cruise. Jamie's husband is coming back from Iraq next week and we knew we would be having one at her house, but Caitlin and Lauren decided we needed one at our house. So Jamie and I had picked Friday, August 13th. Mainly because Jerry works Sat/Sun and it was really important for the kids to be here, so Friday the 13th it was. Nathan and Maria came over around 1600. I hadn't met Maria yet, but she is a spitting image of her mother. She is beautiful. Heather showed up shortly after. Again, another FB reunion. I hadn't seen Heather in about 8 years. Chris asked what was going on, I hope he shows up. I think enough time has gone by that we need to talk. I mean, enough is enough. If he can't open up to me, maybe I can open up to him. It would be perfect if he was here too. Nathan came with meat in hand and wanted to try a new recipe for 'loaded' burgers. They sure smelled good, as he was preparing all the ingredients. I have to get the recipe!
I LOVE having ALL the kids over. Allison had Brooke, Bryan and Bev over, Caitlin, Brennan, Keegan, Abby & Gavin, plus Maria and Lauren. I absolutely LOVED having kids running everywhere. All from 14 to 4! It was great! And of course ALL kids LOVE Rock Band! Even if Gavin is trying out a new guitar style!
Now can you see the resemblance? Maria is a spitting image of her mom! WOW! Maria hung out with Lauren for awhile!
Nathan took control of the grill! Thank goodness. I really do need to get a bigger grill. But this RoadTrip which has survived many tailgaiting sessions and through a Stanley Cup Championship, is a great grill! But for entertaining, I really do need to find a bigger one. And really, this time of year is probably the best, you know, end of season....
Everyone seemed to have a great time! The food was great and the company was awesome! We had cheese dip, shrimp, 9-layer bean dip, bubba burgers, Nathan's 'loaded' burgers, shrimp dip, chips, baked beans and BEER!
Although we got some great pics...I realized today, I had none of Brian and Lizard and only a side-shot of Brad. However, Gavin and Brennan were taking quite a few, so Jamie is supposed to send me some. So I hope one of them got some.
