Saturday was 45 degrees and rainy. Hello summer! What a perfect day for a barbecue. We had about 30 adults and 15 kids, and wow. It was crazy fun and exhausting and all those things a huge blowout party should be. We're celebrating our one year anniversary of moving and it was really exciting to see how many local people we were able to invite over. I spent a lot of the day wrangling kids in the basement, and all the evening drinking beer by the fire outside, so there are very few photos. But such is life.
Some of our old friends who came up to celebrate.
And a little montage put together by my friend, Cindy.
Sunday morning we didn't have any plans, and in that beautiful way that can never be predicted, it turned out awesomely. Rob had stayed over, and Todd and Bess came up with Betty. After a fortifying bloody mary we headed out to Rockefeller Preserve so Bess and I could run and the boys could walk the babes around Swan Lake. That was followed by grilled clams and lobsters at our new friends. Plus some more backyard fireplace action. I was in heaven.
On Monday we took the kids to the playground and ran into a whole slew of our local friends (what a difference from a year ago!) Naturally we ended up drinking mimoas all afternoon in C and K's backyard.
And now we rest.
And dance, because there's always energy enough for dancing.
