In the worst weather of the week in NB, we threw a BBQ for young friends we got to know in Saint John. Unfortunately, some of them couldn't come at the last minute and it looked like it was going to rain at any minute - with a stiff wind to boot. But G&L pulled out all the stops - with some yummy food and drinks and games. Lorraine was a crafty grandmother. She needed to have her crabapples picked up, so she made it part of a pictoral scavenger hunt. Plus - get this - a warm water paddling pool! Yup, George connected the hose to the warm water tap for the young ones. Bet he didn't do that when he was a dad!!!
OK, so after the party, as I was dropping off a little friend, she puked all over the car seat (and I mean all over). Ok, so after the party, as I was dropping off Mike's grandmother, we had to leave her sitting outside her house because she didn't have her keys (and well, honestly she didn't want to sit in the stinkaroo car). Ok, so after the party, I drove the car into George and Lorraine's garage - and do mean into (and no, the crooked shutter in the pic was not of my doing).
But I had a great time all in all. Hopefully, George and Lorraine did too. They were rewarded with very happy children. One of whom kissed his Gramps goodnight and declared the day "gorgeous".
