Memorial Day Picnic

We enjoyed having Mom and Dad here for a short visit. I made this meal to celebrate the holiday and for Mother's Day(past) and Father's Day coming up. It was fun to make and grill the Sirloin Kabobs and other food for the evening. The weather was perfect for an evening outside.

We decided we'd like to have every Monday off!

Our honored guests.
Yum, corn on the cob!

We sat around the campfire for awhile in the evening. Always fun to play with the fire.
