Makes Mouths Happy

No, we aren't talking about Skittles folks- we are talking about BBQ. My sweet husband has dreamed of the day of having a large grill- so much so that he looks forward to trips to my parents house because they have a big grill that my mom always send him out to go cook on. It would probably rank in the top 3 unnecessary items that he wants most.

When we got married we bought one of the little grills that we used lots, during one summer. Then it was left out under a dripping rain gutter, and we don't know if it's safe to use in the condition that it is in.

Enter a man craving a new grill for 2.5 years.

Long story short- some neighbors are moving and gave us their grill for $0- thats free folks...just right for our budget. And since the grill was acquired near noon yesterday, I bet you can guess what was on the menu for dinner- a happy man with a side of burgers and brats!


As a side note, here is a picture from our last adventure in Santiago- a children's art museum called Artequin. The building was actually constructed for the World's Fair in Paris in the 1889. Post Fair, the building was taken apart and shipped to Santiago where it was reconstructed and named a national monument.


Inside there are many reproductions of famous works of art. Most of the visitors are school field trips where they do hands-on activities and get to learn about the history of art by seeing the 'real' thing. Great concept and put together very well, just not very interesting for a 16 month old!
