BBQ at Tom and Sue's

Amy is in town with Elise and Baby Henry! Aunt Sue and Uncle Tom had a barbecue at their house so a bunch of us could get together and meet Baby Henry. I made a roasted beet and barley salad from the June/July 2013 issue of Eating Well.



Men grilling meat!



Derrick recently landscaped Tom and Sue's yard and put in that patio!!



Doesn't it look great?! Derrick is super talented.



YUM!



Since Dad's birthday is tomorrow, Tom and Sue picked up a birthday cake! Tom lit the candles and we all started singing and we realized Dad was missing!



Tom and Elise set off to search for him, continuing to sing "Happy Birthday."



Happy birthday to you...



Happy birthday to you......................................



Happy birthday, dear Dan............................................................




It was a wild goose chase!



We couldn't find him!



Not surprisingly, the girls didn't mind blowing out the candles for him.



Dad showed up just as the smoke was clearing the air! Turns out he had just been in the restroom. What a case of bad timing!



Sue and Elise dishing up cake and ice cream!



Mmm, birthday cake and zebra stripe ice cream.


Chloe looks like she wants some ice cream! She is 23 years old. I'd say she certainly deserves some!
