Backyard BBQ

My parents completely landscaped and beautified their backyard this summer. It is so gorgeous and it is so nice to hang out there. It has a waterfall and everything. Basically, Ava could live back there. I think her favorite part is the BBQ pit. Okay, I'm gonna be honest, it isn't her favorite, it's me and Randy's favorite! It's a gas pit so you can turn it on and off with the flick of a switch, so no hassle whatsoever. I'll tell you what, Smores from that BBQ pit are HEAVENLY! They are just as delicious as when you're in the mountains. I know that's hard to believe considering how delicious they are in the mountains, but I promise, my parents backyard brings on some pretty big contenders. It's also interesting how something so simple can bring a family together. There's no tv, computer, or video games in the backyard, so we all get together and TALK! I know I've mentioned it before and would like to maintain that my sisters and I are pretty darn funny, at least to each other. Throw some marshmallows into the mix and Brace Yourself! Anyway, we have had a lot of fun in that backyard roasting marshmallows. Here are some pics:
