Barbecue & Outdoor Movie Pics

Now that I've shared the baseball pictures from our Baseball & Barbecue it's time to share the Barbecue pics! It's a little challenging to get decent pictures while trying to keep tabs on the food and two small children. Plus it was getting dark. I wanted to get a few pictures of our outdoor movie set up as well since it's kind of hard to explain. I haven't gotten any pictures from the previous outdoor movies because it's so dark by the time we watch the movie that pictures don't really work. So enjoy!


Tatum giving Mommy kisses.

Spencer and Ethan playing with jungle animals. Roar!

Colton and his friend up in the tree. Aren't they cute?

Pat enjoying some barbecue food. We completely covered the neighbor's hot tub with food!

I warned you about Pat's mohawk. Just so you know, he did this as a fundraiser. The best part is that he has to keep it for a few more weeks!

Tatum really liked Josh's phone and he was crazy enough to let her play with it.

Josh hanging out on the grass. Check out those shades.

Katie is the lucky woman who is married to the man with the mohawk. She's a good sport!

Dessert was strawberry shortcake and when I bought the angel food cake I discovered that it comes in two flavors now. Of course I had to get a pink strawberry flavored angel food cake for Grace's benefit. She loved it.

The ladies chatting and keeping warm before the movie started.

We watched a movie Friday night and about froze so for the party I busted out the hot chocolate to keep us warm! It worked pretty well, I wasn't quite as cold.

We let Grace stay up and watch the movie with us and she was so excited!

Spencer got to stay up and watch the movie too. His mom forgot a coat for him so he borrowed Grace's most boyish coat. At least she owns a few non-pink ones!

Here's the movie screen set up. We hang a big white sheet on the neighbor's gazebo and use a projector connected to our laptop. Nate has his yard wired for sound so it's a pretty awesome set up!

Saturday night we watched The Sandlot which was an appropriate ending to our fun filled baseball themed day. I'm sure we'll watch many more movies outside before the end of summer because it really is fun. I just hope it warms up a little bit so I don't freeze!
