Zaph celebrated his eleventh birthday today. If I'd asked how he wanted to celebrate his answer probably would have been "a day at the beach followed by a nice big steak and a whole box of cookies" but his mother had other plans. We invited seven of Zaph's friends, six humans and one dog, over for dinner. The smoker got a work out cooking a rump roast and a beer can chicken ..... yum.

Balloons are scary but I'll sit still for a short minute. For once mom didn't dress me up.
