cookout tonight

There is this couple at our church that we’ve been friendly with since we’ve been going there. We’re always talking about getting together, but before today, it never happened. So, we made the first move and invited them over for a cookout this evening. They have two young kids, a girl and a boy–2 and 4 respectively. They’re a really nice family and it was a very enjoyable evening.

Two of the neighbor kids showed up at some point. You should have heard the racket! Five kids can make a lot of noise. It’s hard to believe someone didn’t call the cops.

The evening ended with a marshmallow roast in the chiminea and Jake has a bellyache to prove it.
