How weird that I think I HAVE to put up pig roast pictures. Like someone is following me around saying "You have not blogged about ______ yet." Laura, Clover, and I think Olivia have already done enough Pig Roast pictures. But I would like to stake out my own little million-pictures-of-one-weekend corner, so just TRY to stop me.
I just went to Olivia's blog to get her url to link to up there and I saw this picture...
LOVE it! What a pig. Livia has some cool pictures. Check them out.
Well I am glad that there was no further ado there because that would have been excessive.
The first happening on Saturday morning (for ME anyway) was Owen's motorcycle fell over. No, this isn't headline news in anyway, I just thought it was funny.
Then Dale and Clover picked it up because they are nice
The smoker, doing it's thing
The guys doing their corn shucking thing
JoAnna and I walked up to the baseball game and Rilla came flying down the lane to see us.
I love this picture
The kids with their picnic of water

One hundred ears of corn, ultra awesome corn.
Lucy's fruit salad
Penny's out of this world salad
Andrea's deviled eggs and I can't remember if that is Wendy's Canadian coleslaw or something completely different
A salad Ginger made--pure summer in a bowl.
Linda's salad--how could you go wrong with a tangy dressing, onions, and tomatoes? You can't.
Clover's coleslaw--you can't have pulled pork without coleslaw!
They played rotational volleyball. A lot.
Katharine, Chris, and Wendy
Dad doing bubbles with Gilbert
Laura, Katharine, and Dale. Apparently Katharine liked being in couple pictures
Settling a discussion about hymns from the old hymbook
The mud puddle was the kids paradise this day. If only I could get this excited about mud... Life would be more exciting.
Bottling a little fresh Full Circle Farm mud
The kids thought filling this baby carriage with mud was BRILLLLiant.
Everyone needs a tub of mud

Just in case you missed it, the kids spent a LOT of time in this mud puddle

Game done, switch over
Olivia is apparently the outcast
Driving by to check out the progress of the ice cream

Gilbert enjoying watermelon and people
He was filthy and sticky
Owen taking a doggie break
Awww
I was RIGHT there and I still don't understand what on earth they were doing. No one died.
Elliott is so concerned, he decided to take a drink of water
Guys
This truck was the unofficial hauler of the weekend
We are slowly but surely trying to turn Fiona into a farm girl
Fortunately, the Fire Department of Bronson was there to help us with our bonfire
Bug spray. And Lincoln high stepping through the grass
Ca--UTE!
They unearthed the pump organ, which had been in a 15 year retirement. Justin looks like he just DARING someone to say otherwise.
Austin pumped away
Gilbert wanted DOWN. Mainly to go poke at the fire.
Coyote wanted to sing too!
A picture with potential for danger and destruction. If only Gilbert could drive

So I did

Homemade ice cream and chit-chat
And that is all. Phew. I am worn to a frazzle. Pictures will do that to you. I will now go unfrazzle myself by contemplating laundry while I think about what to make Lily and Gilbert for lunch.

Holy cats, there's no way I can comment on any specific photo. Let me just say, though, that the weekend looked absolutely fun! Although most of those kids were in kindergarten the last time I saw them and now I feel old. :-)
Yeah, I really don't know most of those kids either! Some I recognize vaguely. I love the photo of Owen and Ashley arriving on the 4-wheeler (they look like a couple of rad kids), and the one of Gilbert alone on the 4-wheeler. So cute!
Love all the pictures, as per usual. You got a lot more pictures than I did, so yay for getting them up.
I just loved loved loved looking at all those pictures!! Looks like an awesome time had by all! :-)
