Ward camp out

On June 26th our ward (church) had a camp out at Pine Grove Furnace. We took our camper while the others camped in tents. It was loads of fun! I'm so glad we went! Here are some pictures from our weekend. Ashton holds Jacob. He is fussing a little, but he only cried once the whole time we were there! How come I never got a baby like that?

Kaden and Ashton sharing a snack.


The ward provided the hot dogs. Families brought whatever else they wanted to eat. I made a crock pot full of Mom's calico beans and shared them with my ward family. Several people asked for the recipe, so here it is:
Calico Beans
1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/2 - 1 t. chili powder
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 t. prepared mustard
4 t. molasses
1 chopped onion
1 16 oz. can kidney beans (drain)
2 16 oz. cans pork-n-beans (wouldn't have to drain)
1 16 oz. can butter beans (drain)
Combine; place in 9 x 13 dish. Bake approximately 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees. Can use crock pot to keep warm after baking.
ENJOY!

Just hanging out.

Brady started burring Ashton in the sand, others joined in, even complete strangers!

Where's the rest of her?



Who's the bigger kid, Bubba or Brother Barrington?!
If the ward has another camp out next year, we'll be sure to be there! Great fun!

I am finally home and able to check your blog! (You forgot to mention that you put up those pics just for me because I wouldn't stop nagging) ;0)

I don't know several of the kids in the pics.

I do see my parents though!

How can you say a frog is CUTE?

I make Bush's Baked beans. Want the recipe? Open can and heat.

WHo is the baby?
