Backyard BBQ...










On Saturday, June 28th, we went to my Aunt Steph's house for a family barbecue. My dad's side of the family (from Bakersfield and Apple Valley) was there,, which was nice because we don't get to see them very often, as well as my grandparents, and some of Rich's family. The weather was perfect for the event, and we had a great time chatting, watching the kids, and best of all eating! My favorite was the strawberry dessert Aunt Steph made.

The kids had an awesome time playing on the tree swing Rich installed, however Emma did manage to fall off, even under close supervision. Luckily it was over the grass, and she fell the best possible way. It just scared her. She got right back on a few minutes later, so no swing trauma, thank goodness. The kids also played with bubbles and ran themselves ragged in the water sprinkler that Rich put out for them. Emma could drive Nascar, as she is really good at going in circles to the left!

The only crummy thing that happened was that, upon departure, my Uncle Scott realized they had a flat tire. They had to drive all the way back to Apple Valley on the spare. By the time they realized the problem, all the tire centers were closed! Ugh!

Emma was asleep before we hit the freeway!

Thanks to my aunt and Rich for inviting us over and for the great time we had! It was fun!
