I don't know if I'm very good at stacking fries, but I'll definitely sign up for the watermeon eating contest.  Oh, no!  That turtle is at it again AND he's cheating by starting ahead of time.  Naughty!

                            

Loral

Nice variety, everything looks so yummy, surf and turf...

Loral

Your turtle is soooo cute, no turtle soup tonight...

elimar86861

Right on, Loral!  But when the turtle sees the "surf" items, he's going to make himself scarce.

Loral

See Ya!!!!!!!

We'll be serving the BBQ all day long, but if you are ready for dessert, I made some of these marshmallow treats.  YES!  They are Cheetos treats!  Like I would forget to bring one of the key snack items of all time...  Oh, and just wipe your hands on the retriever.  Her coat hides the Cheetos dust very well.

Of course if some of you haven't had your nails done already, you might just want to wet your nails and dig into the big bowl of regular Cheetos and you'll come out with this stunning look.

Cheeto manicure, why of course!

Loral

How about a piece of fresh baked Blueberry Slab Pie, courtesy of Martha.

Loral

Elimar I will say Finger Lick-in Good!!!!!

Dianarose

Nothing like sharing good food with friends

Loral

Awwwwwwwwwww too cute for words....

Ooh, what a PARTAY!!!!!  Sadie (my yellow lab) has already hit the pool.  I'm loving the mojito in the red solo cup.  And here's my fruit salad contribution:

For those that prefer burgers over dawgs.

Dianarose

I think we are going to need more straws.

luvmygoats

Wow - drinks from a fishbowl. Is that where "drinking like a fish" came from?

Oh waiter, we need more straws.

OK, who's misbehaving?

elimar86861

Straws?  Will these do?    

elimar86861

Hope you all are up for a balloon ride.  Loral lined up a fewof them for us.  Don't forget the pre-flight champagne toast.

Where's Meece, after she was so ready to get the party started yesterday?  Where's Eph?  I saved some BBQ scraps for Ruby.  Hope they can make it by for the Barn Dance Disco.

                            

I'm going to put up a few more strands of lights while everyone is floating around in the balloons.  Hope your dream date dance partners are on their way.  My dream date has been partying all day already, but once you start him up, he'll never stop.

luvmygoats

Meece and Eph being West Coasters (sounds like a roller derby team) may still be working their way home yet. Bet we hear from them yet. Not my bedtime. Still here for fun. Never been on a balloon ride. Thanks Loral.

elimar86861

The balloons will stay up until dark because it is so pretty when they are illuminated at night.  You will know where to land because I will have a giant blaze going...which will actually be the candles on a birthday cake for my date.

Holy moly we need a fireman.

OK who brought the cat and then lost it?

Loral

A natural high!!!!!!!!

Dianarose

luvmygoats-your fireman had to call for backup. (they might have taken away my estrogen, but I still have a pulse)

Meece

Eph and I have the fun of having to go to work.  Between Carpool and work I am out of the house nearly 11 hours a day.  So, I missed the BBQ but will be here off and on through the evening events. (DH is crazy and expects dinner on a night like this!)

I plan on being like some of these modern brides who buy more than one wedding gown and change throughout the reception.

Loral

Ready for the Barn Dance.

Meece

Meece

Meece

I've brought some dessert, too

Meece

And I'm sending a car for you, Eli~
