4th of July BBQ



On Saturday we got together with my Aunt Sandy, Uncle Peter, Aunt Barbara, Uncle Gerry, and cousins Michelle and Kristin for a cookout. The cookout wasn't until later in the afternoon and since the weather was not the greatest, Rob, Margaux, Ryne, and I went to the Cape Cod Beer Brewery. Traffic was heavy heading to the brewery (thanks to the bad weather and it was change over day for renters). We waited in line since the brewery was packed!! I guess everyone had the same idea as us! We got a tour of the brewery...it amazed me just how small it is! They literally are making beer 24 hrs a day to keep up the demand for beer. As part of the tour we also got to sample some beer! Rob and Ryne each bought a few growlers on the way out.

The cookout at the Fink/Reinke's was a lot of fun. Rob and Ryne brough their growlers to the cookout and Barbara and Gerry had some of their home brew beer -- which was very good!! Michelle's boyfriend Ron was up with her for the weekend so it was nice to meet him and hang out. We played several rounds of the bean bag game and ate a ton of great food. As the night went on it became necessary for a beer run! Ron, Michelle, Ryne, Rob, and I ended up playing drinking games and had an absolute blast! We walked down to the beach to see the fireworks but were disappointed as it had started to rain and you could only see the clouds lighting up. All in all it was a great day!
