FIRE!

I keep coming up with great things to do in Iowa. I can't believe that more of you aren't knocking at the door trying to move here! Another great activity is cook outs. Yes you can do this with the firepits in STL but it is not the same as driving the hi-cup truck (Ally's name for Grandpa's truck) to the field, dodging the cow presents, and light a good ol' bonfire.



We do cheat a little by bringing out the picnic table and mom heated some cheese up for the chips. Also we are using gourmet dogs (cheddarwarts and brats for the older folks). Drew and Ally had some fun and try to give Grandma heartattacks everytime they would walk near the fire. If you didn't know, our kids get their grace from their father.

Hummmm who was watching the kids? Ahh no one knows and no one knows how many chips they ate off the ground.


I wish I knew what this conversation was about??? I think that it might have gone like this...
"You been farmin' long? Got enough rain? How's the corn look? Those heifers are black and fancy!"


Chad wanted supper so he got drug out for the fun. He also got half his hot dog stolen by Drew. Someone decided to let Drew carry his plate back to his chair. He obviously tripped and was devestated that he couldn't eat the hot dog off the ground. Chad gave up some of his since they were gone. That was Drew's THIRD hot dog!


Ally swore that she had cheese in her marshmellows. Once again she takes after her Daddy. Smores are so good. I went to the Eric Bodin School of roasting marshmellows at East Iowa Bible Camp. My marshmellows were melted all the way through!


Drew got bored with singing songs with Daddy around the fire and decided to get a jump on Grandpa's morning chores. He was mixing the corn and oats for the cows.
