So my bestie, Jennifer, and her family (Batman and Avery) like to entertain at their house. And it doesn't hurt that Batman just recently purchased a "Big Green Egg" smoker. It is INCREDIBLE!!! Incredible enough that when Superman decided that he just wants money for presents now so he can save up for one, I didn't argue ;-)
About a week ago, Batman decided he wanted to smoke a ham - which happens to be Superman's favorite! So naturally, we were the ones invited to be the guinea pigs!!! And we weren't upset about that at all. Not only do we get to eat some great food but we get to spend some time with our great friends, too!
I was so hot out that we decided after dinner we all needed a cold treat . . . SNOW CONES!!! We loaded up the cars (we don't get to ride together anymore since car seats take up so much room) and headed to Cotton Eyed Joes in Mustang/Yukon (I don't know the difference!) for some tasty treats and play time.
The girls were so excited . . .
But ya gotta be careful eating snow cones . . . even super heroes get brain freeze!
After snow cones, there was time to play. Good thing Batman doesn't get too tired because he has all these fun "games" that he plays with Avery like "monkey swing" and "rocket ship." Hannah and Chloe can't resist learning new things!
Then back to the house for the girls to get baths and bed so the grown-ups could have fun playing a game of hearts!
This will make GREAT blackmail in about 16 years!
All in all it was a great night! I thank God daily for these friends and look forward to many more fun times ahead!
You really are blessed! It's so hard to find a couple to spend time with. I wish we had that here! Love reading your stories! :-)
