Our fourth annual chili cook-off was yesterday and oh what a day! We had a great crowd of friends, new and old, this year and and a pretty good one to one ratio adults to kids (37 adults/34 kids)! The day was steaming hot, so perfect weather for a gastronomical competition, plenty of games for kids and adults alike, and lots of cold beer flowing (for the adults of course)!
The evening ended with glow sticks, a few fireworks and several children turning into pumpkins~ ah as any party should end, with tired rosy cheeked kids. :) Hopefully sweet dreams all around! To illustrate just how jam packed the evening was....I didn't take a single picture! Sheesh, not a shot, nothing, zip, zero, zilch! In fact the above photo is of one of the centerpieces I had placed around, and I took that shot this morning!!
In case you were wondering, all of the entries were fantastic. This years chili winner was an amazing buffalo chicken chili, and our secondary pie contest was taken by a key lime meringue that was to die for!
Thanks to all of the participants and great friends who came out to celebrate a wonderful warm summer night, on this fourth of July weekend. It was one enchanted evening!
sometimes life comes before photography! I love this colorful shot and the perspective you chose!
