I had every intention of posting on the 5th, but here I am on the 7th, oh well. What did we do on the holiday? The great American BBQ, of course. Our cookout was like last time of the potluck variety. I'm sticking to that being possibly the best way. Maybe one day we'll do the whole enchilada, but I love getting help and I think people like helping. This time around we invited our next door neighbors, the Wiggletons and in addition to being the best neighbors ever, they also added a lot to the supply. Having an extra table plus an umbrella really helped. Everyone chowed down and there was bunches of food. Burgers, hot dogs, roast, chicken, potato salad (store bought & homemade), Stromboli, an apple dessert, chips, baked beans, sodas, and cookies make for lots of good eating.
Nevermind those faces, that's just the heat talking.
Kyle's looking to have one more cookout before summer's over sometime around Isaac's return. July 4 was our last whole day with the kid, Grandpa Gregg picked him up the next day and now they are on their way cross country heading to Seattle, Washington. Kyle may not get his cookout hosting wish because Eric and Krystal put an offer on a house and if all goes well, they'll close right before school starts and they want to host a Labor Day cookout. The dates work for Kyle to have one more and E&K to host one in September, so we'll just have to wait and see if we do another.
