Last weekend was the annual Nativity Carnival for our parish and the school. It always marks the first weekend of summer vacation in Menlo Park and we've been going since I can remember. My Dad and some of the "St Raymond's" Dads have always done the Tri-Tip BBQ dinner on Friday and Saturday night. Academic Trainers sponsors it since we've been open and it's a busy weekend BBQing up lots and lots of meat. This year we sold "Slider" mini tri-tip sandwhiches which were a big hit. Thanks for everyone's help!

Heff, John and Kermit at the grill (Nativity actually bought their very OWN BBQ this year after borrowing John's all year long... John was happy to have to bring his anyway when the Burger Booth went through three broken gas grills and needed the tried and true mesquite charcoal method afterall:)

Chrissy and Kathy were a huge help selling those sliders!

Jannie and Francie (who went through about five outfits over the course of the weekend)

Friday night a bunch of our friends stopped by with the babies... Francie and Isaac sitting on the blanket for about 2 minutes before they crawled off into the dirt
