My Baseball Birthday BBQ

This April 21st, I turned 29! Yeah, I know...that's one year shy of 30! Big deal, I'm over it! So my thematic party was inspired by America's favorite pastime...BASEBALL!

Steve brought over his fantastic Iowa burger patties, along with some chicken dogs and brats. Not to mention baseball NACHOS! Steve used his mom's secret recipe for nacho cheese and lemme tell you, everyone was a fan! (It was alright, even though he cooked it in a Green Bay Packers Crock-pot...Booo!)

Along with baseball food, we managed to carpool over to the local park to play a few innings of wiffle ball! Yes, I brought it back and everyone had a blast! Scott (Steve's brother) and I were team capt. since it was our birthday month...We played up an appetite, got baseball dirt in our shoes and hair and hollered, "hey batter, batter" and "let's go knuckles, let's go!" Maverick, my dog came along as team mascot and managed to chew his way threw his leash, he just wanted to get on the field we the rest of us!

Following the bbq, we downed a few more beverages, which by the way, were held by a super awesome inflatable "baseball" cooler! And cut the cake (Baseball Nut Ice Cream Cake - 31 Flavors) and opened my gifts! I got some awesome stuff! Thanks everyone!
