Dutch Oven Delight!

Last Sunday we went to Beaver Dick Park and met up with our good friends the LeFevre's. I had mentioned that I wanted to get together and roast marshmellows and told them about the GIANT ones we had. They were so extremely kind and offered to make us dutch oven chicken and potatoes. (Seriously, I think I am amazing at wrangling such invitations!) But seriously...all of that work for us? Um yeah! No brainer! So we met and while they found a nice amazing shady spot, Tyler really wanted to set up our sport umbrella. So we let him.

Braden was having so much fun exploring the area and being a little free to "roam".

Sadly, I didn't get a picture of dinner. But it was amazing tender chicken and basic potatoes with bacon and truly it was SO GOOD! Tyler couldn't stop talking about it for quite awhile. The LeFevre's were gracious enough to try our fruit pizza and didn't even tell me how gross it was that it wasn't great being out so long in the heat.
Afterward, the kids were very anxious to roast marhsmellows. Sadly, I think this is the only picture I have of McKenna. I don't know why.

This is our friends daughter - we will call her E - I hope she doesn't mind she is on my blog. But look at the smore. That marshmellow doesn't fit on the graham cracker!

Here's one of Kylie. Sad. It looks like she had to take the chocolate off to get our mouth to just be able to bite into her smore.

Here's Tyler. You know that phrase - a picture is worth a thousand words? Ok, well maybe not a thousand, but it sure does speak for itself!

Luckily, I had wipies. Kylie sure used a lot of them!

I tried to use them with Braden and keep up. After awhile, I just couldn't. When I put him in the tub when we got home, I had wiped him down before he got into the tub, but the water was very very dirty when he got out. At least he had fun. All boy. And the LeFevre's were kind enough to let him use their little shovel. He did pretty good and at least he didn't try to whack anyone with it!

All in all, it was one of the most fun evenings we had in quite awhile. Thank you so much for the wonderful meal and great visit. We feel so blessed to have such great friends!

We had so much fun with you guys too! I totally used your kids' names AND ages in my blog...I didn't even think about it. I'll take them off if you want me to. Feel free to use my kids' names! Thanks for the fun Sunday evening!
