GEM had their yearly traditional summer BBQ this past weekend! This was my first BBQ with Gem and What FUN it was!!

The BBQ picnic and activities are supposed to mirror similar events in America and the event passed with flying colors doing this job. After having a blast playing games with the students- games that were just the same as I would play with students or my own children in America, like bubbles and squirt guns, it was BBQ picnic time!! I saw the grills and also saw my opportunity to do what I like best in the summer- grill!! I never turned my oven on in the summer back home in America. It is way too hot and I didn't want to heat the house up. Almost every dinner I cooked was out on the grill over wood pellets. For the GEM barbecue I made my favorite side dish, American potato salad with a dressing of mayo and mustard. The only thing lacking was a touch of paprika but I sprinkled some fresh green onion on top instead. YUM!! Even though it was a hot job cooking over the grill, I didn't mind! I was soaking wet from the squirt guns and "fishing" with the babies in the pool, so it helped me get dry!!

I hope you all enjoyed the "American BBQ Picnic" fun and festivities- and food we prepared and shared, as much as we had fun preparing and participating ourselves!!
