Barbecue and pool party

Suds-O-Matic

Sunday my parents had a barbecue and pool party at their house. There was lots of delicious food, including chips, dips, hot dogs, ice cream, and brownies! I think it may have been an excuse for Pete to show off his Suds-O-Matic. It’s a retro washing machine that he gutted and now uses to hold cold beers. It works pretty well and looks awesome!

They invited some of my mom’s coworkers, their neighbors, Demian (a former Toshiba employee), and Demian’s wife Susan. There was an assortment of kids there as well. I invited gem and Anela.

Lizard

When I went in my brother’s room to pet the cat, I saw a tiny lizard. Anela managed to catch it in a jar!

Selfie!

The only logical thing to do was to take a selfie with the three of us, Mulligan, and the lizard!

Barbecue and pool party

Mojito bar my friend made

I went to a barbecue and pool party at Edward and Carries’ yesterday. The food was excellent, although I only actually took a picture of the one item above. We had chips, mango salsa, guacamole, chicken, shrimp, strawberries, pineapple, rice, mojito bars, and mojitos. The mojito bars are shown above and are similar to lemon bars but made with a mojito cocktail. Pretty tasty!

Everything tasted amazing with one caveat: the pineapple was too strong. See, a lot of the food was cooked with rum, and the pineapple was soaking in rum for a few days apparently. I could smell the alcohol just bringing the pineapple near my face. It was liking taking shots. Pineapple will never be the same!

After dinner we went swimming and in the hot tub! It was a lot of fun to see my friends and meet some new people!
