First BBQ of the season

It didn't rain yesterday! Which means we got to run a 5k in the sun. Chad and I were 73rd and 80th, out of 435. Which is exciting (we did it in 25 minutes, which is good for me), except a whole bunch of the runners were in the 7 - 12 year old age group. Which makes it hard to really consider it a victory. :)

The other exciting result of the lack of rain is it allowed us to have friends over outside for the first time this year.


Nothing like bocce amongst the gently falling petals to make it really feel like spring! That and shish-kabobs, iced tea, and cake. And laughing hard enough that people can hear us down the street. Perfect!
