Summer Kick Off

Saturday night we invited my Mom and Tom over for dinner and a campfire in the back yard. I made my new favorite mozzarella salad and my Dad sent me home some fresh perch so I tried my hand at frying them up just like he does. The dinner was fantastic and then we had Butterfinger S'mores and we broke out the Pudgy Pie Maker and made ham and cheese and pizza sandwiches over the campfire. It was so.much.FUN.

Leah remains obsessed with anything that swings so she spend a lot of time on the swing set with whomever would swing with her.
Seth made me a beautiful potted plant for Mother's Day so we replanted it and it has blossomed. He is so proud of it!
Second swing victim! Frying up the mozzarella and perch Buckingham style!
1st camp fire of the season.
Leah is even old enough that she stayed up for part of it. She opted for raw marshmallows though. She would have eaten the whole bag had I not snatched it from her.
Seth showed her how to really toast them, but she still ate them raw.
We went for a walk prior to the camp fire and Rocky was exhausted so we plopped him in a chair and he relaxed.

Justin and Joan even came over after Justin got out of work and then the party really started. We broke out the Pudgy Pie Maker and made ham and cheese sandwiches and pizza sandwiches over the camp fire. It was so fun!
We even cooked S'mores with Butterfinger candy bars which we heated up a tad over the fire too so that they were soft and gooey.

It was an evening to remember.
