From the weekend

Eating dinner outside during the summer is something that the grandkids always enjoy.  So this past Saturday, we washed down our lawn chairs and set up the kitchen in the backyard.  The yellow jackets were a bit of a nuisance this go around, but that's part of the summer experience, right?

We enjoyed the classic summer meal:  grilled chicken, yellow corn, fresh green beans, salad, and watermelon.  Oh, and I didn't get a picture of dessert:  strawberry shortcake or fruit popsicles.  The latter was the preferred choice for most.  

It was fun, though the constant getting up and down to retrieve what was forgotten from the kitchen made me wonder if all the effort was worth it.  But at least we could sweep the crumbs from our laps and the picnic table onto the grass and not worry about cleaning it up later! :)
