Sikome, and Barbecue, and 300th Post Contest - Oh My!!

Yesterday Jason and I hosted my side of the family to a barbecue at our home.  We first went to Sikome beach for a swim.  It was a gorgeous day.  Unfortunately the sun is not my friend.  I got a little burnt and gave myself a bit of sun stroke.  The kids had lots of fun playing in the sand and swimming.  I love to see all the cousins together - I hope they are always good friends.


After a couple of hours we headed back to the house for a barbecue.  Dave, Char and Jared met us there as they weren't able to join us at the beach.  We ate hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad, lemon lime delight salad and chips.  For dessert we served ice cream cones. The kids played and the adults visited and then Jason shared some pictures he has taken of what he is working on in the temple.   I love when my family is able to get together.  I appreciated that they would travel to us so we could host.  I'm thinking next time I may choose an activity out of the sun.  ;)

  8. Hello, again! I just wanted to comment on the third picture, the one with Ashton and Blake...were they a decoy to the hunky shirtless guy in the background you were really taking the picture of?!!!! I am totally teasing but I did think it was funny how that guy is right in your picture! And since I have commented twice, do I get my name in the draw twice?!! We had a blast the other day, you guys are truly wonderful hosts!
