Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. Didn't go quite as planned, but it was still fun nonetheless. Troy came up on Friday and hung out with us the whole weekend. He became Everett's buddy. Most of the time someone new comes around Everett just stares and acts a little leery. But not with Troy. Every time Everett woke up from a nap he'd come out and see Troy and just smile. It's almost like he thought he'd be gone, but was pretty excited when he saw he wasn't.

Due to the rainy weather we didn't get to do as much as we wanted, but we were still able to have a little BBQ Monday. Most of the day we spent hangin out. We cooked on the grill, played some XBox (mainly Todd and Troy), baked, and just had a good time. Todd made ribs once and has wanted to try them again ever since. The first time we weren't quite sure how to grill them, but this time Todd did a little research. They turned out pretty good too! We had ribs, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, baked beans (my very first homemade ones that I think turned out pretty good too!), rolls, and some fruit. Our dinner was quite delicious. We followed everything up with a nice Peaches and Cream Pie.

Despite some change of plans I think we all really enjoyed ourselves. It was nice having Troy up and I'm pretty sure Todd really enjoyed it. They got in some good laughs, video game playing, and just time to hang out!
