We decided, since the weather was finally warming up, our schedules were opening up, and our new place has a decent sized deck, it was time for a little grill out.
Well, not so little, but we had a good group of co-workers old & new plus friends & significant others. About 25 - 30 people showed up for some beer boiled brots, chicken & plenty of sides & deserts (cookies, cupcakes, chocolate peanutbutter balls & orangies - yum). Even Harvey got to have a couple new friends over.
Jill concocted a "Summer Brew" her co-worker had told her about -- cheap beer, lemonade mix, lemons, & vodka; sounds gross but was great -- others brought plenty of beer and stuff for mojitoes.
Stu had worked quite a bit over a couple weeks before the get together constructing some bean-bag toss ("Corn-hole") boards (Jill helped paint them). Of course he didn't mind the work as it was an excuse to pick up a few new tools and now it's just one more fun thing to do at the Hansens'. They turned out great; Stu was happy to see they didn't wobble or sit crooked.
We were very happy with the turn out and our Dollar Store purchases of small & large tiki torches paid off because it provided plenty of lights for the bean bag toss & smoke to keep bugs away. The weather held out for us, everyone appeared to have a good time, there was plenty to drink for everyone (the hosts included) and everyone made it home safe so we think we pulled of a great shindig.
