Grilling time

Well last weekend was pretty much perfect.  With the longest winter I think I've ever witnessed in my life finally breaking, and 70 degree temperatures to boot, how could it not be perfect?  Better yet, Dennis and I didn't have to work either.  We decided to chance it and get out the grill and patio furniture.  This probably means it will snow again next week...
It was even warm enough to eat outside.  I ran to the store and got some supplies for a proper steak dinner on the grill.

Owen wasn't so sure at first.  I don't think he remembered eating on the deck last year.

We had steak, sauteed mushrooms, and roasted red potatoes

mmmmmm (Dennis hums when he likes his food...it's kinda cute)

I was worried that Owen wouldn't like the steak.  He's not a big fan of straight-up meat.  So I cut it into little pieces and put it into his quesadilla.  I can pretty much hide any food I want him to eat into a cheesy tortilla and he'll eat it.  Much to my surprise, he started pulling the pieces of steak out and eating them.  Of course he's got to have expensive taste *sigh*

This one just kept begging for steak

How can I say no to that face?

The only downside to eating outside was the little man was majorly distracted.  He pointed out every bird, bug, airplane, leaf, and sound that was around outside.  The meal took forever...but couldn't have been better.  Yay for spring!
