Malibu Chicken Sandwiches

We got the canopy all sent up this afternoon.  One of the rods was bent though so we ended up exchanging it tonight.  It’s not the classiest thing but it will be good to take to the pool and use in the backyard when we have picnics or bbq.  The kids loved playing underneath it.  [...]
