Smoke 'em

Before noon the coolers were lined up.

And the smokers were already hours into smoking.

Piper and Scott

Heart-melting

The water was too dirty after all the rain the week before so there was no swimming!

That smile!

Daddy's girl

Bean bag contest!

So serious.

So NOT serious.

Piper decided to take a walk....by herself. We wanted to see how far she would go by herself....she went all the way to the park (she didn't know I was following her), she needs to be a little more afraid.

She needs to work on her form.

and I don't think this is legal.

Daddy and his girls

Sam and Steve Willem won the first bags contest.

Holly and cheesy Presley.

Almost 5:30, almost time for the contest to start, so the men start boxing up their meat for the judges!

My sister in law's sister Steph and her adorable daughter Nora!

Samantha really dug into Scott's meat turkey.

We look like we are going on our first date. We took a short ride in his sister's boyfriends car....Steve loves cars and so I enjoyed it for the drive.

My parents came down about noon and hung out and then took Piper home with them about 4, that way we could enjoy the rest of the night without her. It was fun, Presley played with cousin Ava, we hung out and ate and drank and enjoyed the perfect summer night (and we had a room at the house for the night so we didn't have to worry about driving home!). Thank you Christie and Jason for another great party!
