Weekend Fun

I know it's Tuesday and I'm just now posting about the weekend...oh well.  Overall it was a fun weekend.  Kent's parents were in town for our niece, McKenna's 3rd birthday party so we went over to his brother's house Friday night to visit.  Then Saturday was McKenna's party.  They had the party at The Fields which is FBC Carrollton's new sports complex with park and spray ground.  Lots of fun.  The playground area is covered (fabulous for such hot days) and the ground is covered with turf instead of woodchips, rubber, or any other flooring they put down for playgrounds.

Thanks Uncle Kirk!

And enjoying some cake....the best part of all!

Sunday we decided to invite everyone over to our house since Kirk and Suzie provided dinner both Friday and Saturday nights.  I'm not sure what it is but anytime we try to do something like this things always seem to go awry.   Kent decided he wanted to smoke some pork for pulled-pork sandwiches and have coleslaw, potato salad (finally remembered the potatoes!), beans, and watermelon.  Sounds like a super yummy menu, right?  At least until he opened the pork shoulder I bought and the thing still had the skin of the pig on it!!  

Ew!  Wasn't expecting that!  How on earth did I not notice this when I bought it!  Well, the other side didn't have skin and that's all I looked at.  We quickly realized that we did not have enough time to deal with this and I ran out to the store and bought a tenderloin instead.  A much safer choice.  Currently Wilbur is in our freezer and we'll deal with him another day.  

The finished product.  Now doesn't that look so much more appetizing!  It tasted great too!

The day also included swimming in our super awesome pool...kids only.  Kent also made a Kid Wash that I had seen in Family Fun magazine.  They were more interested in getting in the pool and only went through it a few times, but I think it's pretty awesome!

You can find the free directions to make this here FamilyFun.com/funshop.  You just click on their free instructions and pick the June/July 2011 issue.  It's great for them to run through when we can't be out to supervise the pool.  

Who needs toys when you have empty food containers!

Random picture, but it was also from the weekend and I thought it was cute.  So, that's it.  That was our weekend!
