BBQ Day at the Young's

We all headed over to the Young's home in Haywards Bay this morning for a family BBQ with the Jukes family as well. Our three family's all get on well together, with Brody Young, Rohan Jukes and Jess all in Year 5 together, and Brock Young, Lauren Jukes and Josh all in Year 1 together, while Maddi is in Year 2 and Thomas in Year 7 means they are all very close in age.

A 10.30am start is quite early, but this didn't stop the first beers being cracked soon after out arrival. The day was a belter, and the kids spent more than half the day in the pool. The girls also decided the pool was the best place to drink and gasbag, while Gary, Richard and I made sure no one was going to steal the table. We had also brought over the kids scooters and Jessie's bike so all the kids could ride around the streets of Haywards Bay, without getting into too much trouble.

Lunch was, well, extremely well catered, with steak and sausages and lamb and chicken and salads and rolls, and anything else you could think of. Once this was over, the kids headed back to the pool. Late in the day it turned out to be not such a great thing for Maddi, who pretty much had heatstroke by the evening.
We hadn't intended on staying all day, but as we did make it to dinner time, there was still plenty of leftovers to attack for that meal. We finally headed home with an unwell little girl at about 7.30pm.
