This past Saturday we held our first "party" at our house. I went all out and even had invitations made. We had a washers and bbq gathering. For those of you not familiar with washers it's a game Travis' fraternity played in college. Those silly boys were notorious for playing for hours upon hours until there was a winner. It's a game that consists of actual washers (the metal pieces) and you toss them about 25-30 ft. in front of you and try and get it in the bucket or the area around it...sort of like horseshoes...
My brother and Kyle Borrello came out victorious in the tournament and each took home a little bit of cash money. While the guys played in the hot sun, the ladies stayed in the air conditioning gabbing and eating. Why is it that the gals always stay surrounded by the food? I'm not complaining, but why do we always stay around the food.
The party was a success, the food was great! We supplied burgers, fixings, a fantastic corn dip, and brownies and the rest of the gang brought other delicious side dishes and desserts. We had about 20 folks show up.
We did learn something though: the 2nd annual washers and bbq will not begin until 5 or 6pm. 1pm is simply too early during the hot hot summer! The boys were so hot and sweaty, some were out there playing shirtless and they kept coming indoors for breaks.
In all it was a really fun time and we can't wait for next year!
