Tin Foil Dinners with the Barri

Brent and Brenda are in town, on their way to Taiwan where Brent is going to the ambassador, although because Taiwan is not recognized officially as a country, he's called the Director of AIT (American Institute in Taiwan).  They are here for a couple of weeks, and this evening we gathered with the Barri for dinner up the canyon.  Brenda suggested we cook tin-foil dinner and visit, and we met at Canyon Glen.  It was a beautiful evening, and a lovely opportunity to be together.  I made dinners of steak, mini potatoes, broccoli, and corn on the cob, with nice seasonings.  They cooked relatively quickly (about 20 minutes), and were perhaps the best tin-foil dinners I've ever had.  Most of the time they don't turn out very well, but tonight's were yummy!

After we ate, we gathered together and shared something memorable from the past year-ish.  We had everything from having a baby (Brandon), quitting a job and starting a new one (Kent & Lee), traveling to Florida (Brandt & Blythe), visiting historic family history sites (David & Sharon), and biking 70 miles (me).  I made tutti fruitti ice cream, a Barrus Family favorite, and we enjoyed live music being played in the park by a band with a small audience.  We certainly love being with our Barrus siblings/cousins/aunts/uncles. 


In case you failed to notice, we all match our chairs.

In the top one, Jonathan's face is somewhat obscured.
So we took a second . . . 
in which Michelle's making such a face.
Silly!
Anyone know how to Photoshop her head in the top picture into the bottom one?
