A Rite of Passage?

This past weekend, we bought our first full size outdoor grill. That is right. We had a small charcoal grill that we could do a little on (not reliably or always well), but we never had the ability to just go cook up something on the grill. Trent has wanted one for some time, and, because this is the complete wrong season for grilling, they are available for a good price.

Trent was so excited. We spent Saturday afternoon putting it together, and Sunday, Trent cooked us some hamburgers and hot dogs. Nothing big yet. I guess we need to have some friends over and really break it in. Trent says he has reached passed another rite of manhood. I don't know that I would go that far, but it is fun to be able to cook steaks etc. outside and to cook them without worrying about setting off our very sensitive smoke alarm. :)

Now when we have visitors, we can grill out for you. Now I just have to get Trent some tools so that he stops using my kitchen stuff. ;)

Come over ANY time! If we don't have anything to throw on the grill, we'll go get something just for the Perrys. :)
