This weekend we hosted the youth for a cookout! I was running around a lot and didn’t take any pictures, so these are all from Andrea!
Tad made all the burgers using his brand new Weber grill he bought with birthday money he’d been saving. The burgers were fantastic!!
We had about 20 people show up over the course of the evening, which was awesome.
After eating dinner, we played games like Capture the Flag, Hide & Seek, Ghosts in the Graveyard, and Cranium. 
We enjoyed using our big front porch for this event!
Andrea‘s sweet baby Owen, sleeping on our porch.
We had a great time! Thanks again, Andrea, for taking these pics!
