Slappy Has A Spring Celebration BBQ

At the first BBQ of spring, there was a lot to celebrate. First, there was an entire group of people who seemed very happy to walk Maddie around. Take Erin for example.
And Kathleen. And wait, did you catch that? Grandpa Toby is visiting - more of an audience to show off Maddie's new walking skills to.
To make things even better, Taisie is also visiting, and Sierra, the dog, let Maddie pet her in exchange for hanging out around her food droppings.
And what else was there to celebrate? Holly Rose would tell you that it is not the fact that Jess manages to always take a picture while someone is shoving food into their mouth. But look past the table - Marissa is now 8 months pregnant, so we have the impending arrival of her #2 to celebrate.Steve is also leaving for a job in Thailand - yes, up in the air, on a jet plane - and while we weren't celebrating his departure, we were celebrating his friendship.
And wait - there's more - I know, unbelieveable! Jess is now 5 1/2 months pregnant, so the arrival of the Scrapper is also coming closer.And there was Maddie's discovery of corn on the cob.And the all girl pile-up on Alex.
So much to enjoy - and how better to finish off a great evening BBQ, then with a walk through the backyard with Grandpa Toby.

Is there chocolate at the end of the corn on the cob?
