It was finally time for the last family BBQ of the season. I haven't been to a steak fry since the early summer of 2007--I left for medical school on June 30, 2007. In fact, I haven't been home in the spring or summer since then either. Needless to say, I was extremely excited.
Almost the whole gang showed up. I think there is only one cousin and one family friend in Spokane that couldn't make it; thus, poor Farley has met everyone in Spokane but those two. There are a few other important people on the Western side of Washington that he'll have to meet. It was so great to have everyone in one spot. All of my cousins' children have grown so much--even since I saw them in December. Also, another family friend with four girls--I only recognized the 16 year old by her voice. Wow! The only downside to this big BBQ was that I felt like I didn't really get to speak to anyone because I was moving so fast to talk to everyone I didn't get to actually sit down and really talk.
As usual, the steaks were amazing, the side dishes were scrumptious and the deserts--well they were gone by the end of the day. I don't think anyone noticed or cared about my error that resulted in a German Chocolate-Fudge cake. There were only two pieces left by the end of the day!
