A home BBQ . . . meet some of our family

Ok, so I haven't really shared any family pics, so here are the first.
We had a backyard BBQ Saturday with our daughter (Whitney), son-in-law (Reed), granddaughter (Tayvee) and their friends (Wade and Elizabeth).
It was a beautiful sunny day and included badminton and croquet.
We loved spending time with them!

Tayvee played in the pool . . . 

 

Reed and Whitney got their feet wet . . .

and played badminton . . .

 Tayvee cheered!

and got sleepy . . . 

The kids played badminton . . .

Grandma and Grandpa got to play with Tayvee! (Yes, I'm the grandma)

It was a fun opportunity to use our new (to us) vintage table set with chair slipcovers and matching napkins.  

Elizabeth brought some beautiful sunflowers from her garden and Whitney brought her delicious homemade blueberry pie. We barbequed steaks and salmon, had salads, baked beans, homemade ice cream, and . . .

fruit pizza . . .

RECIPE: FRUIT PIZZA

Crust:      3/4 Cup butter or margarine, softened

                1-1/2 Cups flour
                3 Tbsp. sugar
Mix butter with flour, add sugar; mix until smooth; pat into 9x13 pan or 12" pizza pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Next Layer: 3 oz. cream cheese, softened

                    1 Cup Cool Whip
                    1/3 Cup sugar
                    1 tsp. vanilla
Mix together and spread on cooled crust.

Top Fruit Layer: We like sliced kiwi, strawberries and whole blueberries, but you can use whatever fruit you want

Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting our family BBQ! We look forward to having another family BBQ when our other daughter (Chelsey) and son-in-law (Dean) are in town! {They all have sweet blogs and were my inspiration for starting mine.}
Hope you're enjoying your summer with your family!
