The long awaited BBQ

Tonight we had a BBQ at my best friend Kim's, her husband Aubrey and the very cute Elias's backyard. It is unfortunate that it took planning this in June to find space in our calendars (and I admit mostly my calendar was the issue) but it was well worth the wait. It was an awesome evening and the food was delicious (BBQ chicken w/fresh tarragon from the garden, zucchini from their garden and a really good green salad(lettuce from the garden). Here are a few pictures from the evening:
Elias - 21 months The boys chillin at the fire pit.
Kaeden and Elias sharing a dilly bar - I was impressed that Kaeden actually shared, even though I think Elias got the short end of the stick when it came to getting any of the chocolate.


Fresh Raspberries...they had tons and wow were they good!

I tried asking Kaeden a couple of times to hold the raspberry out in from of him so I could get a neat picture and he promised he would and then would pop it into his mouth every time I went to snap the picture.

Kim, Kaeden, Elias and their other baby, Panda!
Kim the gardener with one of the many zucchini's they grew - my mom would be so proud! At least her surrogate daughter has picked up the gardening gene - too bad about her own black thumb daughter!
The only house in Alberta with their own palm tree! Aubrey loves anything Tiki/Hawaiian and he made this for their backyard and eventually for the tiki bar they will have.
I like this picture... I can't believe he has grown so big that he can now look over the ledge!

A random picture of Kim's orange Pansies - just because I liked the colour of them!

Thanks again to Kim, Aubrey and Elias for a great night!
