Available Activities:

There are numerous things to do at the B-Bash. I will list things we've had in the past that you will likely find at this years event.

Eat - The BBASH is becoming a pig roast. Every year, more pulled pork and ribs are being prepared and consumed. Once the number of attendees reaches critical mass, we will either hire a professional pig roast service or begin cooking a pig for the event. Until then, we will continue to cook around 30 lbs of pulled pork and 20 lbs of ribs so show up early and bring your pot luck dish to pass around.

Drink - The B-Bash used to be a much anticipated summer "Keger" back in the day however due to liability reasons and we just don't drink that much anymore it is now a BYOB party. That does not mean that if you are going to have a couple beers... you must stop and pick up a six pack. That does mean if you ( or your posse ) plan to drink a 12 pack or more... you might wanna pack a cooler.

The beach - The beach for our community is about 10 houses away ( 7 minute walk ) We will generally setup at the beach from noon till 2 pm depending on the weather.  Bring your chairs, umbrellas, jet skis , boats or other water toys. There is no lifeguard and no parking so it's a nice quit community beach. ( Boat launch is a 15 minutes walk 2 minute drive)

Kiddy pool - We will usually have an inflatable kiddy pool setup at the house. Bring your swimsuits and changes of cloths for all members of your family. There are many impromptu water gun fights... and bystanders sometimes get in the line of fire. ( primarily due to the children's poor aim and judgment )  You've been warned. If you really don't want to get wet... do not "setup camp" near the pool.

Bounce house - We investigated renting a bounce house for the event. Ended up finding a 8x8 model to buy for less then it was to rent a full size one. Since we use it at least 3 weekends a month in the summer, it has more then paid for itself.

Camping - We generally have many people come in from out of state and since we don't really have a guest room anymore ( Ellie took the last room in the house ) we ask that people bring camping supplies and setup camp in the back yard. If this isn't suitable, then there are local hotels available as well.

Music - We are actively trying to find live music this year. We may have a lead on a couple people who “perform for beer”. If you play and want to throw your axe in the car and jam with the crew after the party gets rolling please do ! Otherwise, music is usually provided throughout the outdoor party via speakers. This is usually done via a IPOD and an amp. If you have a playlist you want to play, bring it with you.

Volleyball - When time/space permits, we will have a regulation v-ball court setup on the side property. Bring your A game however since a number of the guests play locally in leagues. The decision to play Real ball (AVP rules) or Ghetto ball is decided by who shows up.
