Summer grillin'...

We had the Lee's over again this past weekend (they are so fun!). We spent Saturday watching all 3 of the original Indiana Jones movies. As I already wrote about, we saw the 4th movie on Memorial Day (also with the Lee's), and it put us all in the mood to watch the originals. And isn't that why they make sequels? So, that people will go out and buy all the dvd's? Well, we fell for that marketing ploy and purchased Indiana Jones 1-3 at Costco. :) Anyway, we had snacks and the inflatable mattress out with plenty of pillows as we watched the first 2 all together. We watched The Last Crusade later in the evening after Emily and Ben went home. I have to say that The Last Crusade is definitely the best - it's a much more well-rounded movie - and Sean Connery is great! We tried to keep the kids distracted (since the movies are quite scary!) - Adam and Emma really liked jumping on the trampoline with a sprinkler perched underneath. So, the water comes spraying up through the tramp while they jump around in their swimsuits. They loved it! It kept them busy for a decent amount of time, but definitely not a movie marathon's worth. So, in the end, Emma watched some of it and she ended up having nightmares that night. She said that "the skeleton's are too scary!" Yes, Emma, they are too scary - sorry! :/ Well, in between movies we tried out our second attempt at grilled pizza. We tried it last week with the Hunter's and we were glad to see that it turned out great! I have mentioned that Ben's really into his grill right now, right?? We've had so much grilled food lately - hamburgers, hotdogs, steaks, steak sandwiches, pizza, pineapple, and kebabs. Let's just say I basically haven't cooked in weeks! Wonderful! So - back to what I was saying - we made grilled pizza again with the Lee's - but with different toppings this time... bbq chicken pizza! Last time we did basil, tomato, and mozzarella. Yummy! For anyone into making their own pizzas (grilled or not), Trader Joes sells great pizza dough. We discovered this just recently and it tastes great!

On to other more important things - we were sad to say goodbye to Mike this weekend! :( We're just glad that we get to have Heather around for another month. Remember when I wrote in my last post how lots of our other friends were going to be working out of state for much of this 4th year? Well, we basically won't be seeing the Peck's until March! They're going to come back and not recognize us because we've aged so much - and our kids will be off getting married! ;) Well, thankfully, it's not that bad, but it feels like forever! Anyway, Heather snapped some photos of the guys the night before Mike would be leaving. There's a second picture that was taken that I won't post because it may make my blog PG-13. But maybe Heather will put it on hers. ;)
