How to Do a BBQ: Our Memorial Day

Yes.  I know it's July.  And yes, I'm aware that Memorial Day was in May.  If you're quick at math, and about half (okay, more than half) of the Fenns are, you'll be able to calculate I'm running a couple months behind. 

Yup. That's reality, folks.

Now onto our regularly scheduled Memorial Day.
memorial; (adj) preserving the memory of a person or thing; commemorative.

In our family we remember and honor many things.  And we like to celebrate.  A lot.  Which means that Memorial Day is a good outlet for combining our interests.  This year it was a BBQ at the farm--a first but most definitely not a last.

How does one have a farm BBQ?  Well I'm glad you asked, my friend.  Here's how:

Get some guys to set up some tables and stuff.


Lock a nephew in the dog's pen. 



Don't worry, he'll climb out when no one is watching.


Okay, next step: bring some kids, some dogs, and a snake sprinkler.












You'll need some cherries and bairs...I mean strawberries and chairs.












Throw in a boat...I mean, what's a BBQ without a boat?





Add more chairs (clean 'em off first), more people, and more food.








Careful to not get too crazy now.






And always remember those who couldn't join us today.
