Bubb Park Mothers & Dogs Society
Taste Bud Stimulus
April 23, 2009

What a great way to kick off another season of potlucks in Bubb Park! The record breaking heat wave of two days ago gave way to a comfortable 65 degrees with light wind and sunshine. We had kids in strollers and high schoolers playing, and adults having a good time. Why even the tallest dad, Kevin Smith, was wiggle boarding circles around everyone -- who says kids have all the fun!

"Taste Bud Stimulus" brought out lots of good food, with salads, chili, dogs, and casseroles leading to fruit, cookies and cake for dessert. But it was the great people getting together for the first time for the season that had the best spices!

As best we could count from the table below plus Sophia Sear's friend Stephanie & her mom, and at least two guests, there were 29 families represented by 79 people, and 16 dogs. (If I missed a few, you can email me and I'll make it better.)

So enjoy the pictures below and our first ever video clip from a Potluck. We'll think about the next potluck around the end of May, or, if things are too hectic, right after school ends.

See you then,
