Chili Party

Our neighbors, Scott & Julie (the best neighbors you could ever ask for by the way) throw a big bash every year where they provide yummy chili and we all bring side dishes, corn bread, desert, etc. Today was the big party. While Scott was getting everything ready for the party this morning, he had a little mishap. He was outside walking on his beautiful rock path when he twisted his foot and literally tore his knee cap. He yelled but no one heard him...actually Marc heard him but thought Scott was making fun of him because he was being lazy on the hammock. Scott ended up going to the ER after calling the dispatch himself (he is a volunteer firefighter so knew how to get in touch with them and luckily had his phone on him). All of this didn't stop the party from going on though. What a trooper (I'm sure the drugs helped a little though).

The kids had a great time. They were the hit of the party. Emma remained as social as ever and Olivia actually did quite well too. At one point, Olivia was playing baseball with three boys that looked about 8 or 10 years old. She had a blast and they were very nice to her.

Marcus is definatley a dog person. He loves all dogs. This is Elsa, Scott and Julie's dog. Elsa was very nice to let Marcus pull and beat on her.

This is our friend from New Zealand, Mark. He comes to visit every year and stays for a month or so. It's always fun to get together with Mark.

Thanks for the great chili party Scott and Julie! We had a wonderful time as always. Can't wait until next year...and get well soon Scott.
