The kids gathered round, poking the fire to keep it going.
The entree was a tin foil dinner of hamburger, carrots, and potatoes, cooked in the hot coals.
The "side" was watermelon...

Gretta,
So wonderful that you do this. Great pictures wonderful memories
Mom,
I wish Jenny and I could have been at all of these events (even though she made it to one of them). These pictures remind me of many things I love about Utah, including dry air.
