Advice from the DysFUNctional Family

When you plan a party at a park, and the plan is to grill hot dogs on the park grills.........
take a little drive by the park before the Party Day, and make sure they haven't removed the @#$% *&$#@ grills!!!!
It's all good, though. We ate dessert first, had our party, and had fun! Then we ate our hot dogs at home. A good time was had by all.

Silly string fun!

OH NO!! That sounds like something that would happen to me, and if I don't remember THIS post, then it surely WILL happen sometime in my future, LOL

Eating dessert first at a bday party is always a good idea anyway. :)

Why would they have removed the grills? That's what you go to the parks for is birthday parties and grillin' dogs to feed the kiddies. What's wrong with those people, don't they know anything?

Hope the kiddies enjoyed the party and cupcake cake.

Looks like ya'll had a fun time! When life gives you lemons ~ build a lemonaide stand. I have a similar one - when you evacuate for a hurricane and you know the park has a grill... and you bring food from the freezer... make sure you bring charcoal, because you won't find it in the stores during an evacuation! Lol.

Dessert first sounds like a party to me! :)

Oh, I love silly string, and when you've got cupcakes who needs hot dogs?

Doesn't that suck when they take those out of the park. That recently happened in our parks. My friend had to bring her entire BBQ with her. :-)
But it does look like you all had a lot of fun.

Cupcakes are way better than hot dogs, and dessert first sounds like a party to me. I love the pirate theme, I'm glad you had a good time.

They really took the grills away? At least you got to eat dessert first!!

Thanks for leaving me a comment and linking to my blog birthday giveaway! It is always fun to meet new friends around blogland!

Ashley said...

I'm sure the kids were more than happy to dig right into the dessert! (heck - I would be)

Claremont First Ward said...

Oh no! Absolutely terrible. It looks like you managed to salvage the party though. Love the pirate theme.

LiteralDan said...

I don't know why they would bother to remove the grills. Why not leave them out all year?

It's great that you guys managed to have fun in spite of that, though-- it says a lot (of good things) about you!

Lynda said...

Mmmmmm - dessert first! A good time HAD to be had by all :-)

I love the way you guys made it work even though the grills were gone.
Take the 'dys' off. You all are totally Functional.

Brandi said...

Looks like you guys had a blast. WE had the grill removed happen to us one year.

Thanks for stopping by my wee little blog, and the support you have sent my way.

OHmommy said...

Awww.... silly string. I forgot about silly string.

Momisodes said...

No way?!?!
The upside was dessert first. What kid (and adult) doesn't love that!

Looks like it turned out fantastic anyhow :)

Unknown said...

Oh dear, that's happenned to me before. Either that, or the grills have been so disgusting that I haven't even wanted to touch them with a pair of tongs!!

Looks as though a fun time was still had and Happy Birthday to The Pirate :-)

Keeper of the Skies Wife said...

Why in the heck would they remove the grills? Love the cake...I want sweets now!

I think it sounds and looks like a great party! Who needs grills anyway!

Thanks for the get well wishes. We are all doing better!

Unknown said...

What's up with that??? Why in the skee-doodle would they take those out.

At least hot dogs can be eaten raw.
