Buckeye Homesteaders Campout (Brrrr...)

Ok, posted pics up above. Now I need y'all to share your photos you took (the digital ones) because there were quite a few area's I missed.

Who got a shot of the food spread... wooooweeee, wasn't that a feast?

I was saddened that I couldn't try everything.

Hurricane Curt... holy smokes dude, you need to open up a bar b que pit. We've been eating pulled pork today! (oh, and you left your squirt bottles here, do you want me to mail them to you or drop them off or anything?)

SweetCountryGrl... that chicken thing you made was awesome.

then there's Mrs. 12vman's home made jams...

And Mike in Ohio's wife's awesome mix...

jeesh I better stop while I am ahead.


I was doing a head count and it looks like our peak attendance was 34! Including Billoo2, who got there just as some of you were heading out.

Amy has been busy canning cider, of course we kept some fresh too... but it's too tempting to drink TOO much and having to stick close to home if you know what I mean!

Ok, I did a photobucket site also. It seems like it may be the best one out there.

So without further ado:

Here we are, attempting to break Child Labor Laws. Kathy Lee, eat your heart out!


Me by the cider press.


bargarguy, aka "The Mule" doing some press work. We had just taken down the carrot and the stick... My BIL Roy standing off to the side.


Mike in Ohio and Billoo2 sitting around the fire.


The (indestructable) pinata.

Great pics! I especially like number 71, lol! I wish we would have remembered to take a group picture.

The food REALLY was something special. Thanks to all who shared recipes. I'm making Sweetcountrygirl's chicken casserole for dinner tonight, and Mammabooh's vegetarian fried rice tomorrow. In a week or so, I hope to try at least one of everybody's. By the way Kurt, that pork was SO great. My husband couldn't get over how good it was!

I think David was plum worn out from grinding apples, he said he didn't want to see an apple grinder for a while-lol, He had fun though and really liked the fresh cider. We enjoyed ourselves and hope we can get together again soon.

I did have fun and I do want to get some of those pics. that where taken. I know that Devin had a great time also doing the apple cider stuff and that fire he loved it also. The pinata was a good idea I do believe so thanks to my mama for the candy for the kids I am just sorry that she could be there to see the kids do it. Well maybe next time.

Bob and Amy.... thanks for the hospitality. You've got a nice little spread up there and a great family, you are blessed. Glad you enjoyed the barbecue Bob, those bottles are disposable so no worries.

I wish I would have been able to get up sooner than I did so I would have had a chance to talk with everybody there, hopefully next time around.

All the food and drink were great... BUT... to the person that made the pumpkinie/bread pudding? desert type thing I need you to share the recipe! Please. Awesome stuff.

Kurt

Oh, that looks fantastic, and a great bunch of people! So glad there were so many pics - since I have to enjoy it vicariously!

Yeah, I missed it too!!! When is the next one?!?!??! My son's wedding was this weekend, plus we have a band that had a gig on Saturday, too. REALLY BUSY WEEKEND, but I'm SO jealous!

Chris in Ohio

That boy worked his tail off. You ought to be proud of him. He's a hard worker who doesn't get distracted easily.

Thanks to everyone for a great time. I wish I could have arrived earlier.

Yeah, I wish you could have arrived earlier and we could have stayed later...I would have liked to have chatted with you again.

i wanted to come out, but it would have been a long trip for a beat-up car and i also was trying to bag some venison. the early muzzleloader season was last week. no luck there...i saw nothing but babies. i am also prepping footers for a 6 yard pour this thursday. i need to get the porch on and have a long way to go.

i was going to try to fill the soap making slot. i am still new at it, but i have had some success. maybe next time. i am just glad everyone had a good time.

I dont know any of you that were there, I dont get to get out and do much yet, but I have to say I wish I could have gone to your campout, from the pics it looks like the kids had a blast and it was very family oriented, maybe me and my kids can come next year. I was very impressed. Looks like yall had a great time.

Hi Kurt! Mrs. Doc made the pumpkin dessert, so hopefully Doc will be on soon to pass along your compliments. It was definately a hit!

Yeah we were proud of him, we told him several times. It does a parent good to see their child apply themselves and stick with it. He was sore but I know he enjoyed
