Cinco de Mayo finally del on a Saturday this year and this was cause for a little extra celebration, so our good friends Cary and Lucas (celebrity name - Carcus) decided to very graciously host a Cinco de Mayo BBQ at there lovely abode.

| Lucas with his Beer & Nacho Cheese |
Let me tell you a little about Lucas. It's not a Lucas Wilder party unless there is a gallon of processed canned nacho cheese warming in the crock pot and mexican beer ponchos. This tradition actually has nothing to do with Cinco de Mayo, he just really likes nacho cheese and ponchos. And as gross and terrible as that hydrogenated neon yellow cheese is... no one has the will power to resist it. No one.

| Man I'm glad our friends can cook |
This was just a sliver of the food we finished off. There was also at least 20 lbs of meat that got BBQ'd.
The bonus of the day was that the Kentucky Derby was also going on...
So once the race came on the TV, in true Derby fashion.... out came the hats....

| GT and his Son Brewer... Adorable-ness |
 |
| Fun with Friends |
 |
| Me, Trinette & Lisa |
We also discovered a new favorite drink... Limaritas! It's a margarita made with bud light lime... I highly recommend it!
The weather gods were obviously aware of the day's events an provide us with a gorgeous California day, so everyone ended up lazing out in the backyard. We live hard lives. Obviously....

| Backyard Fun |
GT and Brewer decided to camp in the backyard that night, so they set up their twelve thousand square foot tent. OK, no that big but it was pretty huge and awesome. It even had 3 compartmentalized rooms in it. The boys also dusted off the cornhole bean bags and set up a few games...

This picture is awesome because 9 times out of 10 when Joe and I hang out at our friends Lisa & Kevin's place, I end up taking a nap on their couch by about 8pm... Hence the irony in this Kodak moment.
It was a fabulous day with fabulous friends!
