Ug. Tired. Being a little under the weather, I was a little tired all afternoon, but taking charge of all the cooking for a couple of hours took a lot out of me. Many thanks to my sister for helping with that. And the new grill was fabulous.
Guests started arriving around... 1:30? It started getting pretty busy by 2:30. We haven't done a full head-count yet. Preliminary shows 56 adults and 24 kids. It was great to meet a few LiveJournalers. There were a few nice surprises - people I didn't expect to see. Lots of kids. Lots of noisy, messy kids... playing hide-and-seek throughout the house.
It was hot and sunny through much of the afternoon, then it clouded over a bit, which was nice. Then it poured for a few minutes as dinner was starting to wrap up.
Still a bit of cleaning to be done tomorrow... afternoon.
