Madilyn spent the day with me a couple of weeks ago and during her visit she planned a Summer Party. She planned the menu, the music, the candles, and more. We enjoyed our Summer Party this evening, on the patio with a light breeze blowing.
Colter and Carly, Madilyn, Colter Lee, Traven, Colter's parents and his sister, along with his grandfather and a summer ranch cowboy joined us for dinner. I prepped much of the day. The menu included steak with herbed butter, shrimp scampi, blackened salmon with caper sauce, orzo with parmesan, tossed salad with croutons, fruit salad with honeyed yogurt sauce, hummingbird cake, chocolate pudding cake, and chocolate covered strawberries. After dinner, we sat outside and talked while the kids drew with sidewalk chalk and chased bugs. The sunset was spectacular. It was a summer evening to celebrate!
