Sunday Nite BBQ

We have continued our tradition of Sunday evening BBQ's this summer. We love the time around the fire pit and in our yard with family and friends. Lots of hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, chips, s'mores, and lots more yummy food! Despite the rather cold summer we have still had plenty of visitors to our yard for our Sunday evening tradition. The kids have so much fun running and playing in the yard with the many friends that come over to join us.

This Sunday we celebrated Damon Weisser's (Aaron and Jenny's son) birthday. He is a big 3 year old and all BOY as he ran around the yard with his pocket full of bugs and pirate gear on! Aaron made an amazing truck cake that the kids all loved! We had a yard full of little kiddos...I think someone counted 15 kids from 3-7 and that doesn't include a couple babies and several older kids!!


So what do you do with a whole bunch of kids...you have relay races! Theresa organized relay races and had the kids running up and down the yard backwards, in gunny sacks, as wheelbarrows.... That would wear us parents out that's for sure, but doesn't seem to phase the kids one bit...they get done racing and go find more running activities! Kids have an amazing amount of energy and I am so thankful for our 5 acres for them to run and explore!!

Our Sunday nite BBQ's will continue at least until the end of the month or until it just gets too cold to enjoy sitting outside. We are always sad when the summer comes to an end for so many reasons, but definitely one of the highlights of summer is our BBQ's and so with the end of summer comes an end to BBQ's as well...just gotta figure out how to have 'em inside?!
