EQ BBQ

Ever since Ron became the EQP in our ward a year and a half ago, he has had the goal of helping to improve the unity amongst the members of the quorum. As a result, we have planned and hosted a few social activities over the past many months with the help of the other presidency members and their wives. Tonight, we threw a BBQ social on our burnt, yellow grass in our backyard for the EQ and their family members (I absolutely refuse to cough up hundreds of dollars to water our lawn during a heat wave....sorry!). We were so pleased to see so many people turn out for the event. It really was a success and a lot of fun.

Now, if someone would only come and do my dishes...

The line-up before digging in!

Serving up!

The grill-meisters, Ron and Lance. Thanks to these two guys and their grills, we stayed happy and fed throughout the evening.

Poor, little Lia. She just wasn't sure what to make of all of these "intruders" in her backyard. She basically walked around in a kind of daze the entire evening due to a combination of fascination and fear of all that was going on. The above picture perfectly captures what she looked like all evening long.

Pure mayhem and chaos on our swing set! Boy, was I ever happy that it chose the swing set as its victim and not my house!

Evidence that I was really there. :-) The Hartland Family.
