Pig Roast '10

Thanks to all our friends and family who joined the sixth annual pig roast. It was voted our best crowd ever by event organizers :)

And a special shout out to those who travelled furtherest to enjoy in the festivities - Scotty (LA), Ade (San Fran), and Brad and Vicki (Shanghai and Houston)!

Pig Roast highlights

The 5th annual pig roast was this weekend and an extraordinary success if I do say so myself. A few highlights above. Ben pictures will come separately because really, wouldn't he just overshadow everyone??

We spent a long time debating whether to host the event this summer. It has gotten really unwieldy in recent years, topping out at more than 150 people. Last year put me over the edge and I didn't even have Ben at the time. Anyway, our deliberation caused the invite to go out later than usual and it seems to have decreased the size to something much more manageable. I'd guess we had about 100 people, zero randoms and a few great guest appearances (awesome surprise Scotty). The weather was perfect, we had plenty of food, and everyone was gone by 10pm.

Could you ask for anything more?

Five more days till the roast and busy trying to get the house ready for the party. We've had a ton of rain so the garden is going crazy. The tomato plants all look fantastic, lots with baby toms already started. Long week of work ahead before the next party so need to get busy so I can take Friday off and prepare.

Still pretty tired from crazy weekend, time to catch up and prep for the next big adventure!
