The wettest BBQ ever

Ok, I have mentioned we are having VERY VERY dry weather at the moment. Until... you plan a BBQ & swim playdate on the weekend. We picked this day especially as all the other daddies work Mon-Fri (yes we do have non-pilot friends too!) hence they are only available on the weekends. When we got up it was looking very marginal but we weren't expecting this much rain.


We have watched the rain for over 30min deciding whether to cancel the BBQ or not, but our keen friends were very optimistic and they were sure it would clear up soon. Well... here are the kids in their gumboots and ready to walk out our condo. We were having the BBQ at the next condo so the walk wasn't long but...


We must have picked the worst time, as soon as we came to the front gate of our condo it bucketed down even more. Our buggy and the chilly bin were half floating in the water, the wind got worse so you couldn't really hold the umbrellas properly. Basically we were all soaked from heads to toes. At least you don't feel the cold here...

Nick and Madoka were much smarter, they arrived in their togs. It didn't bother them at all being in their swimmers to begin with.

Anyway we thought about it for a while but decided to go ahead.
Unlike our condo The Bayshore has their BBQ pits under cover - Phew! 


The kids were all wrapped up in their towels before they even hit the pool.


Matthew cooked super good ribs, he has been working on it for a while experimenting different rubs and sauces. Everyone there was so impressed and in no time they were all gone! Great job honey!


You cannot NOT have marshmallows - especially on a cold(?) rainy day! The kids enjoyed them not cooked tho.

After an hour or so into the BBQ the rain stopped and the sun came out. The kids had a ball both in and outside the pool.



We were all happy drinking and watching the kids play all nicely together in the end. This BBQ will be talked about for a long time I think. After packing up we decided to have dinner downstairs in our condo together. Not to mention us adults continued drinking and the kids were still in full swing till late.
