BBQ and Smoothies

There are 2 things that I have always loved about summers: 1- It's my birthday and 2-BBQ hotdogs!!!!
I feel like this summer is escaping me quickly though. It's almost my birhtday (and Mike's birthday) and I haven't had many BBQ's... My mom called me up the other day and asked if she could meet up with my and have dinner and give Mike and I our presents since she was in town. I agreed and we set off to our traditional birthday dinner of Red Robin (YUMM)!!! After a tasty meal of cluck's and fries with a pina colada for a drink it was time for the gifts!! My mom told us we were not allowed to open them until our birthdays... Cruel, I know. When it comes to birthdays and Christmas I'm like a little kid. I can't wait to open my presents.
I hugged and thanked my mom and we parted ways. Mike and I had to go to Wal-Mart to look at air conditioners and in the parking lot we decided we should open the presents... it was more my decision than his ;-)
So we tore them open. Mike got a BBQ and I got a blender. You know you're getting old when you start getting appliances such as these for your birthday and you get excited =)
Well, I'm glad we opened them in the Wal-Mart parking lot instead of at home so we could buy things to BBQ and blend up.
Yesterday we put the BBQ together and decided we needed to get some patio chairs... Off to Fred Meyer we went to get some =) You can't have a BBQ and sit inside and eat on a nice cool summer night.
After the BBQ was put together, the chairs on the patio and our stomach's rumbling it was time to start grilling!!!!! Mike did the cooking and I made the smoothies. It was fabulous!!!! It was the perfect summer dinner. BBQ hotdogs, potato salad, chips, strawberries, and orange julius smoothies... Here are the pictures:
