Memorial Day Weekend

This year instead of having people over to our house and cooking, we went over to a good friend's house.  Steve and David have know each other since the days of Applebees.  David and Veronica have been wonderful friends and we were soooo looking forward to the get together.  Steve and David put the kids to work!  Joelle had a blast feeding Georgia, the turtle.  There was also a very intense game of Phase 10 going on as well.  David warned us that his mom was a card shark, and he was right!! 

The kids got to put the rub on the meat.  They also had the opportunity to put it on the grill.  The plan was to sear it and then put it on the smoker for the rest of the cooking. 

Believe it or not, that is not the smoker!!

David and Megan are so eager to cook.  When I was their age, there is NO WAY I would have prepped a whole chicken for the grill.  I still like to wear gloves now!!

<The end result was some really delicious beer butt chicken!!  There was a taste test and David's chicken won.  Which was just fine with Megan.  We went to the pool and there were many races between her and David and Megan won each one.  We had a terrific afternoon with some terrific people.
