Spiders and BBQ


The spider on the right currently hangs around outside Leah's bedroom window. You can even see the web in the picture. In these two photos, Leah's spider, who we lovingly call Miss Spider, was being attacked by an intruder. Rest assured, she held her own and wouldn't let anyone frighten Miss Spider away.

Maria (and her friend!) manning the Face Painting area at the Welcome Back BBQ at ISB on Sunday.
600 people attended. We served free beer, chicken legs and burgers and had fun on games like a bungee basketball and a monkey bounce house. The weather was perfect with sun, no clouds and a high of 78 degrees. Bob manned the beer tent all afternoon while the kids had tons of fun. A friend of mine and I were in charge but the event practically ran itself. But still, we were exhausted by the time the last party goers left. (45 minutes after the actual ending time!) This is one of those jobs I said "yes" to before I actually knew what it entailed!

  2. Hi Jennifer!
    The next thing I am in charge of is the Champagne Brunch on October 1.

SGES would be so much more laid back if they had a Wine/Beer Social instead of the Ice Cream Social!!
