Memorial weekend was a great one this year. It was cold.....but it didn't snow! We had lots of family and friends come up. It was just a great weekend!
This one made me laugh! Gary was moving dirt around with the skid steer and totally dumped it all over himself! He was buried in there! It was really funny to watch!
The big thing this weekend was roasting things! Brandi and Jason and their kids came up and hung out with us a couple of the days and we introduced Jas to roasting starbursts. He loved it! After that, he wanted to roast anything and everything! Between him and the kids, they roasted starbursts, tootie frooties(the fruity tootsie rolls), a regular tootsie roll, a piece of fried chicken to heat it back up, pineapple and a cheese filled jalapeno. It was very entertaining to watch them scour the campsite for new things to roast over the fire.
That weekend my cousin had her open house and they were kind enough to employ me. So I made 180 cupcakes for them and had to run home and deliver the cupcakes and come help set them up. They turned out really cute! I had free reign with how they looked, so I had fun with them. Some had a cream cheese frosting, which isn't the greatest for decorating. The rest had a buttercream frosting, which is for decorating! Regardless, they were all yummy!
My sister Jess came up camping and brought her friends Michelle and Dan and they had their son, his girlfriend and one of his buddies. They were so much fun! Here's Jess playing frisbee with the kids.
Jess had so much fun with Addi and Em. They were trying to eat marshmellows and making a mess out of themselves, but loving every minute of it!
Jess with her friends Dan and Michelle and Sierra and the back of Grace's head. It was nice to hang around a roaring campfire.....keeps you nice and toasty on a cool night!
Emma was all tuckered out!!
Agh....how'd that picture of me get here! ;)
Joe thinks he's a rockstar!
There were some extra cupcakes leftover from the open house, so my mom brought them up and everyone enjoyed them......some a little more than others.....*cough* Jas *cough*
Gary making another sign....this one is in honor of my dad. It says Wind and Elevation. It was something my dad would say a lot while hunting, but it wasn't always a hunting reference, it was used a lot as a life reference too. While you're hunting, you have to take in account the wind and elevation before you shoot to make sure you get the straight line you're looking for. It's the same in life. The wind is always trying to blow you off course and you have to know where you are and where you are going to try to keep on the straight and narrow.
My adorable nephew......Noah....aka "Tank"
The kids had this awsome hole they had been digging. They made themselves a bench in it and everything. They spent a lot of time in this hole!
Jason was teaching Gary how to play Cowboy......um, I don't remember what it's called at the moment, but it was very entertaining. Basically you get a long rope and tie the ends so it's a big circle. The guys wrap it around their feet and hold onto the rope. They then kick their legs out and try to knock the other guy down first. You can see who won!
We ended the weekend with sparklers, thanks to Brandi! This kids loved it! It was such fun....good food, good friends, good conversations. Thanks to everyone who came!
