Some photos from the Third Annual Vignola pig roast and pool party

The party was a huge success once again. We tried to get an accurate count, which was difficult because the party was everywhere, but we know there were over 100 people who showed up.

Here is a picture of "Hank III" who sacrificed his life so that we might have life more abundant. Praise Hank!


The founding fathers, family friend Brian, our son-in-law Robby and my husband HullBoss.


The pit crew


The pit crew and families showed up about 5:00 a.m., so the kids got in some swimming early.


Done to perfection. Garden tools work great for pulling pork.




Vodka watermelon. Our daughter Heather lower left.


Jason doesn't have time for straws.


The first rule of cigar club is don't talk about cigar club.


Bacon-wrapped shrimp on the barbie


The overview


Beer pong in the garage


Sebastian is really disappointed that there won't be fireworks.


The very wonderful InTheFlow


There's got to be a morning after. Our grandson Colton who fell asleep on the couch.



Next year's Hanksgiving (a name I thought up while enjoying some dispensary brownies) will be on June 27. Anyone of you who is in the Denver area around that date is cordially invited.

Lol. Amazingly, there was very, very little food left. That pig was 112 pounds.

The quartered pig on the grill is amazing. And the shot of Jason. And the fisheye of the pool from a different angle than the other fish-eye shot I saw! But the Colton shot takes the cake!
