After the grass was mowed we needed to eat so what do we decided to do? Break out the brand spanking new bar-b-q grill. We hadn’t even taken it out of the box yet, so Waldo spent like 20 minutes putting the thing together.

Who knew the thing has so many parts?

(Sorry for the blurry photos, its hard to stand still and take a good picture when you have a wiggly infant in your arms)

All done. Its a thing of beauty, or something like that.

We used lump charcoal which I didn’t get a picture of and a charcoal chimney. Which were both my suggestion, Waldo was against them at first. I mean what’s more manly then briquettes and lighter fluid? Nothing that’s what! But I won because I had Alton Brown on my side. We even watched the grilling episode of Good Eats before we started.

Waldo was very impressed with the chimney. It heats up the charcoal in like 15-20 minutes and its ready to go. Of course I was in the house nursing Lily so I didn’t get a picture of the hot coals in the chimney.

These burgers were great, they were seasoned with salt, pepper and little garlic flakes.

Our side dish

Cut grass, yummy food and hanging out as a family. It was a great family day.
