Sunday BBQ

Sunday (July 22) was a nice, relaxing day.

Originally, we planned to have an outdoor BBQ but since it was raining hard and the wind was quite strong, we had a indoor BBQ. Amanda's friends Juni and Mona came over and we had a fun time. We ate cheese burgers, pork chops, fish cooked with carrots and onions wrapped in aluminum foil (camping style, oh yeah), potato salad, homemade toss salad, and boiled potatoes. I think that's everything. We had a feast. And for dessert, I showed everyone how to make S'mores! It was a bit different since they don't have graham crackers over here so we used cookies that I guess would be like bigger versions of waffers (hopefully that's what they're called). Juni, Amanda, and Amanda's neice really loved it! Mona doesn't care for marshmallows but she still tried it. She asked me questions about what a graham cracker tastes like, what it looks like, and such.

When we finished up eating, we moved over to the sofa to watch some episodes of "How I Met Your Mother." Amanda and her friends LOVE this show so I decided to give it a try. I can see why they love it so much. It's pretty hilarious. For those of you who don't know what it is, long summary short it's a newer version of Friends combined with Seinfeld. Need more detail? OK then, it's about a guy named Ted and he is telling his kids how he met their mom. He talks about the crazy adventures he has with his friends Marshal, Lily, Barney, and Robin along with the women he dates. If you have some spare time, I'd recommend watching it.

After we watched eight episodes, we watched the Hangover (edited). It was... Interesting. I liked the Doug/Tiger Song the best.

When the movie was over, we spent quite a bit of time on Youtube. I showed everyone some BYU Divine Comedy videos and they LOVED them. They really liked the videos "Good" and "Class Can't Even Handle Me". I also showed them other BYU videos like "New Spice", the car sharing commercial with the zombies, "Gotta Be Scholar", and others. We then proceeded with watching some Ryan Higa videos (Bromance, Nice Guys, Movies in a Minute - Chronicle), Weird Al videos, and KevJamba videos. Youtube surfing is the best :)

We ended up staying up till 3am and decided to call it a night.

  1. So it is raining in Norway now. What is with all the rain this summer? I am glad you are having so much fun with Amanda and her friends. You will have to send them a box of graham crackers. I thought you would tell us something about the Bruce Springsteen concert. Wasn't that Monday night? It looks like you wrote this on Tuesday-or am I confused? Remember to take photos to illustrate the stories you are telling. Love you and can't wait until you can tell us about the Olympics--can you believe they start Friday.

    Love Dad
