The Gang Has Arrived - Day 3

My nephew and his family have arrived to spend 4th of July weekend with me in the Mountains. I thought I was being so organized by getting a beef roast ready last night to put in the crockpot at 4:00 a.m. this morning so that it would be ready when they arrived today but alas something must be wrong with my crockpot because after 13 hours the potatoes and carrots where still crispy. The meat was OK but it took quite a while in the microwave to get the rest of it somewhat done. Talk about stress - I guess that's why I don't cook much. Anyway after a few glasses of wine I didn't care. Two games of Gin-Out tonight and believe it or not Tim won both games. The last picture is of him doing his "happy dance."
