Seems like we have started a bit of a tradition here at the Hooge house. For the last 3 years we have hosted a great BBQ for all our friends here in the UK.
This year Jon made his famous pulled pork, 14 lbs of it! 10 lbs of traditional British sausages, grilled chicken legs, baked beans, coleslaw, and cornbread. If you can believe it, it is ALL gone! We had a bit of beans and coleslaw left over but everything else was devoured, which is a lovely testament to how good the food was.
Jon prepared a super scavenger hunt for the kids to keep them nice and busy and help the boredom stay at bay and then they later had a Xbox tournament.
The best part, though, I think were the fireworks we set off after dusk. Jon, Rik, and Phil had a blast (pun intended) lighting the fireworks, tripping over each other and, yes, perhaps one did land in a tree...just once.
It was a great time to be had by all.
