Last weekend was the start of a long summer of parties beginning with Memorial Day - through a swarm of High School graduation parties, ending with a Fish Fry fresh from the clear waters of Canada.
We attended an annual Memorial Day party, two planned get togethers with friends, and one spontaneous get together following one of the other planned get togethers.
The Memorial Day party had three distinct nice to haves:
- Kegerator which made it easy to refill satellite tables of socializing with one hand and minimal disruption via a pitcher.
- A semi-professional photographer was capturing moments for posterity including a large group photo.
- Someone thought to have a cheese platter and other nibbles for later in the evening - long after our lunch pig-out subsided
One of the planned get-togethers was after going out to eat with the same group at a local restaraunt. Prior to dinner our hosts had a fire in their fire pit that they let burn down. When we arrived, they simply dropped a few logs on the smoldering embers and it blazed right up into a nice campfire with no effort. I'm not sure if that was planned, but it was definately effective. I will add that to my list of deliberate preparation plans for an outdoor party.
