Dinner, Friends and Fun

Sunday after we came back from Lincoln City, we had our good friends John, Amy, Connor and Kaiden over to our house for a BBQ. Amy brought a homemade pasta salad (with feta cheese and kalamata olives--YUM), watermelon and homemade french fries ala McMenamin's. Talk about good eats! We contributed the burgers and fixings, chips and grapes. It was nice to just sit on the back patio and relax in the warm weather. Luckily, we had a sprinkler nearby that everyone could cool off in between rounds of UNO. :)

After dinner, we all made our way up to the Cooper Mountain Nature Park (which is luckily and unbelievably close to both of our houses) for a short walk among the trees. It was dark when we left, but there was still time for a quick ice cream bar before bed. It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day spent with friends--and it reminded me that the best things in life don't cost anything more than gas and some groceries.
