Going Away Party...

Last night the Pennes hosted a going away party for the Douglas family. We had so much fun hanging out with everyone and all the kids had a blast running around and playing. We will really miss Karl, Michelle and Mason but we look forward to visiting them in Baltimore!

The night started off strong when Jen fired up the grill...

Maybe it got a little too fired up because a car driving by saw the smoke and called 911. Six fire trucks were called to the house. Seriously people? Does a little smoke from a grill look the same as a house on fire???

The first truck on the scene.

The poor firemen had just put their own food on the grill when they were called out to this "fire". Luckily they were very nice about it.

Brian and Karl relaxing and enjoying the evening.

How many kids can fit on the trampoline?

Elyse loves hanging out with the big kids.

Silly boys

The guys could have sat there all night listening to Karl tell stories and crack jokes. He is the funniest person I have ever met! Hilarious!!

We have SO, SO, SO enjoyed the time we have spent getting to know the Douglas family over the last year and a half. They are seriously awesome people and we look forward to many visits in the future! We love you guys!!!
