We got together with Dick and Iris, Dave and Donna along with Katie and Todd and the kids for a family cookout dinner at our house. Mary showed up a little later too. We had a wonderful time and celebrated Katie's birthday a little early. Donna made the birthday cake.
We came together to spend time with the kids around 4 pm on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and evening. We set things up to have dinner and sit around either in the house or out in the backyard. We setup the sunroom for dinner and had plenty of chairs both in the room and scattered around in the yard. However, we really did think that despite the nice weather we would be hanging around our living room, dining room and kitchen which was the case. The kids didn't want to stray to far from their toys and Iris' mobility issues really made her want to stay indoors in a comfortable chair. We were OK with whichever she decided she wanted to do and everything went well in the house.
Becky made a great meal that included her homemade potato salad and a pile of hamburgers, sausage patties and hotdogs to grill. Todd put together a wonderful salad. Dave ended up doing the grilling which of course is what he always wants to do so Becky let him do it when he came out on the deck to help her. Everyone enjoyed the meats and Mary was especially happy that Becky had a veggie burger for her. We also had some corn on the cob and Katie made some delicious cookies.
Donna made and brought the wonderful chocolate birthday cake which everyone really enjoyed. We hung out until about a little after 7 pm. It was a very nice evening.
Mary had come a little late and after she ate we went outside and sat in a couple of chairs talking about her library job and all the changes going on in the public library system.
