Instead of a regular monthly meeting at the library, the Kachemacs decided to party it up for the 4th of July and had a cookout at Bishop’s Beach. It was a beautiful, sunny day, but the stiff sea breeze made it a bit chilly.

Ole, Brent, and Ron keep the hot dogs protected. At one point while we were all eating, a raven swooped down, landed on the grill, and stole one of the dogs.

Julie and Ginger huddle for warmth.

Diane shows off her hula-hooping skills. Anything to keep warm!

Julie takes a turn with the hoop.

Michael, expecting an inside meeting at the library and finding a note to come to the cookout instead, shows us what happens when you come under-dressed to a mid-summer barbecue in Homer.

Diane tells everyone a story about an encounter with a mad squirrel.

If you missed it, we’ll do it again next year!
