Our King of Confections!

Saturday night was our ward picnic that Mike and I were in charge of. The weather was threatening all day, but I just asked the Heavens for nice weather between 5pm and 8pm. This party would have been a disaster if we had to move it to the church! We had it at a park and had some great food and had a great turn-out! Mike and I are glad it's over and were feeling pretty tired on Sunday....the after-party tired.

Mikey in his crowing glory and golden staff!

Our entertainment for the evening was a Men-Only Dessert Contest. Any man or young man could enter and the creations were judged that night by a few women in the ward. Each dessert was given a number so the contestants would remain unknown. Well, Mikey won Best Original Creation! He made Spuds that his Mom makes...a yummy frozen treat made of hersey bars, cool whip and rolled in Nilla wafers and almonds. We were so proud! Chad B. won best presentation for his Michigan cake and Don C. won Best overall for his ice cream creation.

About 7:30 the lightening started and by 8pm it was pouring rain! Party over! The rain made it possible for us to drive to SL to attend Zac G.'s wedding reception! So, things worked out perfectly for us!
