Dutch Oven Fest!

On Friday night we had our annual ward campout. I seriously think it didn't get below 90 degrees here all of July, but on Friday, a "cold front" of sorts happened to pass through and the temperature dropped like 15 degrees. We were camping up Spanish Fork Canyon, and the temperature is usually about 15 degrees colder than it is here in Provo, anyway. Long story short- we were all prepared to camp out, even with Alan, when I checked the weather the day before and saw that it was supposed to get down to 37 degrees that night. (It actually ended up freezing that night.) So, mom decided that the freezing weather was not the place for a 7 week old and we ended up coming home.

But we had an absolutely wonderful time there. The Bishopric was in charge of food, and the Bishop made a delicious dutch oven dinner with multiple kinds of chicken, ribs, potatoes, corn and beans. Seriously some of the best food I've ever had camping. Scott made four different cobblers, and they all were a huge hit (even with our creative fanageling). He's in charge of cobbler-making from now on around here. :) We also had a huge fire, camp songs, and the biggest game of mafia ever. Alan was really good, despite the cold, and we had a wonderful time. Unfortunately we brought our camera but forgot that the memory card was still in the computer. :( If we get some pictures from other people, we'll put them up.

  2. Sounds like a great time. Scott will have to cook us up some of that cobbler when we come out there...you have those little places to barbeque out front, right? Give that sweet little Alan a smooch and a hug for Grandma and Grandpa and we will see you guys in a few weeks.....

  3. Hmmmm, I don't know if you can really cook with the dutch oven hanging over the fire, but I've only been a dutch oven expert for about 3 days, so maybe wherever the image came from on Google knows best.
