ONE YEAR AGO......

Memorial Day is one Holiday that our family celebrates in the same place every year. Summit Creek USA. Every year no matter what the weather or other events occur, we head for the same spot. It makes us happy. It's where we want and can't wait to be. The kids have been asking for weeks when we are leaving. They all know what awaits them. One of their favorite spots is the hot springs, with warm water and lots of little fish to try to catch. The four-wheelers make a path to the water with kids and towels in tow. Not to mention the good food that never fails to taste better than when we make it at home. No egg McSomethings here. Its greasy fried eggs, bacon, pancakes, hashbrowns, sausage, french toast and what ever else is in the coolers. Uncle Chris can always be found getting breakfast started while everyone else rolls out of bed. Shawnee's family got us hooked on cornmeal pancakes last year and so it was on the most requested list this year. Lunch is usually simple, and we have a big dinner. Kendall likes to do burgers with onions, fresh-cut fries, and usually scones or something else deep fried. This year we are trying red-neck donuts, (refrigerator biscuts deep fried, then tossed in cinnamon and sugar). Some friends that camped with us a few times taught us a great chicken and veggie dutch oven dish that only needs green salad and a roll to make a really nice meal. Last but not least, cobblers, smores and all the other gooey stuff we can stand. THese pictures are from last year so it's time to take some more. These are the things our kids remember, and isn't that what it's all about anyway? We are keeping a tradition that our Dad and Mom started and we can't bear to stop, AND WE DON'T WANT TO!
