This afternoon, we all gathered in front of Ellie’s house for a BBQ with 4 other families. The kids enjoyed helping themselves to the water. Gavin helped Peanut fill up his cup.

We had tables under the tree and the kids had fun sitting together with their snacks.

Peanut had his fair share of watermelon slices this evening and his shirt was a big mess by the end of the day.

He also had a corn on the cob with cool holders on the side.
