The BBQ

Last week we were invited by the Miller's (a very sweet couple we met at church) to their 300 acre farm for a BBQ on Saturday. It was such a great time to get away from the city (about 40 minutes by car) and all the things that need to be done here. The weather was beautiful! Unlike most days in Scotland, it didn't rain or get cloudy AT ALL! I think we all got a bit sunburned for we definitely didn't plan on the weather being so great. It was also a great gathering to meet some new people. I met a few single young people. One girl is a medic (medical student) in Dundee on rotation from Germany. I really enjoyed talking with her. The kids were able to ride/drive a tractor and car out in the field. John Spencer and I played some football (soccer to most of you!) and croquette. Mrs. Miller is a wonderful cook. She actually made the rolls (hot dog and hamburger) for our meet. THey were yummy! For dessert, we ate fresh raspberries (picked right off of their farm) with fresh cream. They were delicious! Next year for my birthday, i might say my favorite cake is fresh raspberries and cream! Then towards the end of the day, we had a competition known as the obstacle course. Big kids could do it too! So Scott, John Spencer and I participated. John Spencer made it into the finals. You jumped over a fence like thing, crawled under something like a limbo rope, spun around 7 times with your head on a broomstick, then tried to squirt the can off of the post with your water gun. There were a few water fights, as you can imagine. We had a brilliant time!
