July 4th BBQ #1 - Queens

For July 4th weekend we went to 2 BBQs. The first was at Phil's parents' house in Queens. As usual his mom prepared LOTS and LOTS of meat on a stick. I think the beef ones are usually the most popular - the secret is the honey!


Calvin went as Charlie Brown and was having fun exploring and just generally getting into trouble, especially now that he's more mobile.

We spent some time outside and in the garage to keep Phil's dad company while he grilled. There was so much meat he was grilling the whole time. Calvin was watching very intently, probably wondering when he'd get to eat some...maybe next year...


Calvin's second cousin, Eva, was at the BBQ as well, and kept trying to give Calvin girl kisses. I don't think Calvin really liked it, but she did manage to sneak in at least one!

The rest of the time Calvin and Eva were either pushing each other around...


Or Calvin just tried to run away entirely....

I'm sure these videos will make for great blackmailing when Calvin gets older ^__^
