I'm glad you guys all got some great pics to post! I was busy and forgot to take any.
Like everyone else said, it was such a great time.
I really enjoyed getting to see everyone again and got to finally meet Donna, Smokin' Don and his lovely wife, Nancy.
My friend Jason got to come and spend Friday evening with us and picked up his pellets (which Art brought from NC). Jason could not get enough of Old Dave's Pork shots.
One of the highlights for me was watching Maci. She is such a precious little one, so full of curiosity and energy. She attached herself to my wife, Tammy, like a little shadow. At one point Tammy was eating some sugar snap peas, and Maci graciously handed Tammy a stone she'd picked up, and took Tammy's sugar snap pea! I guess it seemed like a fair trade to her!
All the food was off the charts good, and there was plenty of it. Art brought some Cheerwine glazed Pork burnt ends that were incredible. Dave cooked lots of food, including some of his ribs, which promptly disappeared. For breakfast Sunday morning, Don cooked up some Jowl & pepper Bacon while Pam made her LTBBQ famous Maple Bacon Donuts. Then she turned some of my homemade sausage into luscious gravy while I baked up some homemade buttermilk biscuits.
Yes, I was good, I paced myself and also ate plenty of veggies & some salad too!
As usual, Mike took lots, and lots of pictures (so did Tim this time), and Art provided libations for anyone who wanted to partake. He brought this strawberry vodka he made that was really good (too good if you weren't careful!).
I want to thank everyone who attended. It was a memorable weekend, and you guys made all the prep and legwork worthwhile!
Hopefully we'll see you guys all back next year!
