So our weekend with the Goldsmith family went well. I think Callum really likes Auntie Camp and wants to come back soon.

The clan arrived Thursday evening and Anthony made his special Bri pasta dish, we all ate under the new screen on the back porch, even Callum joined us for a bit. Friday we had a cookout so everyone could visit Callum. We had a great spread of food....this blog may resemble Jared's blog with the food section. For Apps Anthony made a buffalo chicken dip, Jared made his new tickle my pickle dip, I made a crab and spinach dip with beer bread, Babs made her devil eggs and Mum brought the all time favorite calzone....oh and stuffed mushrooms, who could forget those. Those are a regular Twon special.
Main course included hot dogs, sausage, steak tips, my new famous potato salad, orzo salad, avocado and corn salad.......god there was so much!!!
Dessert featured a lovely fruit pie, brownie cake and my new featured lemonade bars. And if you were lucky you got to sample Anthony's lemon ice cream with chunks of pie crust and white chocolate.....what a day of eating!!!! After the elders went home Friday Jared, Anthony and I watched fire works with the neighbors sorry Amanda....Calum had to have snack during that time.

Saturday we took little C into Mystic and showed him the bike shop and a few other venues. We went to Dicks so Jared could buy a hat and then had lunch at Sea View. The men had fried claims and us ladies had chicken tenders and fries. On the way home we stopped at the market for a few ingredients as Twon was making smores ice cream for dessert!!!! Saturday night we cooked on the grill and watched a wonderful movie called the Covenant. After the movie Jared saw darklings.

Sunday morning we went for a nice walk with Callum and Chelsea and then had pizza before the Goldsmiths headed back to Maine.

We enjoyed having Uncle and Auntie time and Uncle Twon changed his first poopie diaper, he did great.

It stinks to be back at work!!! I wish I was a teacher like Jared and had all this time off. Wah Wah Wah.

Um, TaTa...Auntie Camp??? What happened to your husband?

TaTa did not mention that Twon made two types of beer bread. She also did not mention that we got to have the homemade Henry's Blue Ball Hefeweiz-assen beer, which Twon made.

Jared and Twon also made some additional beer lables for the homemade beer...(1) Henry's Botched Birthday Beer and (2) Oh Shit IPA.

Oh yeah, I ascended after I put on my Powdah Saturday night.

Hmmmm.....

Where are the pictures of Thomas P & Chelsea? Usually they are included in your blogs after a family get together. Could it be another member of the family has taken their place? Just wondering......

But my grand doggie she is another story, she just LOVES her NANNIE so much, but of course, EVERYONE LOVES ME, after all it is ALL ABOUT ME.

Great blog, Kristin

I wish we could have been there to enjoy the fun. The pictures of all of you and Callum are great. Isn't he just the best????

It would be super if we could all get together at some point. Think of all the fun - think of all the good food! Great idea, Annie. We'll have to work on it.
