Backwards

Apparently, I like to do things backwards.

We had a garage sale in December, and on Friday, a BBQ in the dead of March.

Todd's best friend Matt is in town from Wisconsin and we thought it would be fun to get some friends together to show him a good ol' Wyoming time.  The weather had been amazing all week and a BBQ seemed like a good idea.

It blizzarded.  The joke is, if we need moisture have me plan an event - and it'll snow.  My Fort Collins birthday party last year? Blizzard.  MS Walk with breakfast at my place first?  Blizzard.  BBQ at the end of a week of amazing weather?  You already know.

But we decided to go ahead with it.  Brandon was bringing his fire pit, so we'd have warmth, and with an attached workshop that opens to the backyard we would have shelter - two essential things for survival. 

It snowed all day but cleared up right nicely for most of the BBQ.  We were going to have all the food inside, but everyone was really hanging out outside, so we moved the food to the workshop.  The buffet on the workbench...


LOTS of chips on the cabinet ledge...


 The bar.  On top of Todd's tool chest...


Gathering 'round the fire...

More fire...


The snow started back up with a vengeance.  Matt was hardcore and stuck it out around the fire longer than the rest of us...


The last of the crew in the workshop before heading home...


A sea of dogs.  Rigby, Nadi, Duffer, and Leyla...


Rigby with a well-deserved drink.  It's hard playing host!


What other typically summertime events can I hold in the winter?  Brandon suggested fireworks next weekend.
