 The master griller

Lake Barcis is only about 20 minutes away from us and is sparkling blue, surrounded by mountains.  We took the kids and our friend and her daughter and son for a cookout one afternoon.  The kids had a blast playing in the rocks and water and exploring the hills.  The best part was forgetting the lighter to start the grill so after multiple attempts to light it with the car cigarette lighter (the fuse ended up being out!) Jeff drove to a local tobacco store to get one. Thank goodness for the two bags of Ruffles we had!
