"Luau Party"








Iam posting some pics of what it looked like outside for Lauren's party. Notice the blue table that was Cliff's Tiki Bar. He set up a blender and made all kinds of fruit smoothies . We grilled up some yummy grouper that Mikey caught a few days prior . We also had some marinated chicken. We had two Jello cakes and a huge variety of fruit bowls & sweet and sour meatballs. Just tons of food! While Nicole and I were in the kitchen we looked out of the window and saw this huge flame it looked like the house was on fire but actually it was the grill. The drip pan had gotten so greasy that it caught on fire! So that was a bit of excitement for the evening. Things settled down a bit and people were eating and enjoying the evening when we had another event take place. Cliff had been going in and out of the house delivering his smoothie treats and it seems he picked up a hitchhiker he had a huge coach roach on his back. I ran over to try to swat at it only to find out it was a flying roach. It flew into the living room where all the guests were and then the screaming came (mostly women) some even ran for their lives! It landed up on our 12 ft ceiling . Nicole got a broom and tried to kill it only to have it fly a second time into the crowd this time it landed on my mother's chest where she started screaming and it nearly ended up in her mouth! Everyone was laughing or scared to death it was going to get them nexted. It finally landed on the floor where we could step on it. With the rain , the fire and the flying roach we all had quite a evening. I know Lauren will remember her graduation party forever! Lauren thanks everyone for coming and supporting her and a special thanks for all the nice gifts $.
