Kevin had a great birthday!
As a treat I went and bought him some donuts for breakfast. We spent much of the morning getting ready for the party - a clean house and lots of food for everyone to enjoy. In addition to the meats he'd smoked (ribs and brisket) we had corn, beans, potato salad and a coleslaw that I'd enjoyed at his aunt's at Easter. We even found a little bit of Kansas City BBQ sauce that we were able to enjoy and have people taste. We'll need to make a trip back to KC so we can get some more...Haywards - its spicy and wonderful.
Everyone started arriving mid-afternoon, and we had a great time eating, visiting and playing Blongo ball. Blongo ball games were all pretty short - it is HOT out there.
One friend had odd guests with him - 3 turtles! They are his new pets and he'd picked them up from someone on our side of town on his way to the party. They were a hit with the kids, even the big kids like me -- the baby turtle was so cute. Luckily, we'd brought Smokey over to my in-laws in the morning since he's not good with crowds.
Kevin was able to wear his birthday shirt. His mom found it online, so true for my history buff.
For dessert we had chocolate cake and homemade peanut butter ice cream. The ice cream was fantastic, very smooth and very peanut buttery. Sonic ice (tiny pellets) is the way to go! We are definitely getting better at making ice cream.
