Our Mothers' Day Barbecue

Yesterday we had a bbq for all the moms in our family. Several were here - including Bill's mom, his two sisters Kathy and Laura, Kathy's son Corey and Laura's husband Glen and his son Loren. Bill's brother, James and his wife were here. We don't get to see them often enough. Then his two daughters, Jessica with her kids Bradley and Kileigh, and Victory with Tyler. Kathy also brought her grandson, William. And of course there was Sam and William and Sam's girlfriend, Abbey.

I figured it'd be a lot of work, but it actually wasn't. We were going to grill hamburgers and hotdogs, but we saw that Woods had ribs on sale for $10 a rack, so we bought 4 racks instead. Darlene was supposed to bring hamburger, but she had a flat tire and couldn't get here, so Kathy sent Corey out to get more hamburger.

All in all, it was a great day, a bit chilly, but sunny and nice. The kids loved jumping on the trampoline and the adults sat around and talked while Bill grilled. After standing on his feet all day, he probably wishes he'd bought more ribs and just forgot the grilling.

But the leftovers made for a great lunch today.
