Labor Day Party

Today we were invited to celebrate the labor day weekend at a back yard party by some friends. They supplied large cuts of salmon and encouraged guests to bring their best salmon recipe to the kitchen for a salmon iron chef cook off.
We don't go to a lot of parties anymore, as it can be really difficult reigning in the kids, or keeping them entertained while having a conversation with adults at the same time. We wind up just getting exhausted, stressed, and not really having a good time. But we went, I brought my best salmon sauce, and there were lots of other kids there too. And parents. And we had a great time. The kids entertained themselves with basic supervision (no one runs into the street, screams INSIDE the house, or throws anything at anyone/thing not looking). My salmon didn't win first prize at the party, but that didn't matter. We had so much fun and Nico said that mine was HIS favorite.
