Well, it's hard to take pictures when you leave the camera at home, silly...
Over the weekend we went to NAFCA's (North American Family Camping Association) annual Spring Safari, where Connor had a booth displaying his jewelry. (This is where I should insert a lovely photo of his beautiful display. Alas, I've failed as a parent and have no such visual to share.) He also had available some of his Connor's Cookies & Confections for those in need of a nosh. Not to be outdone, younger brother Gavin decided that HE needed to have something to peddle, so he set up "Gavin's Great Gulps" (ok, so we have this thing for alliteration in our family) and sold lemonade for fifty cents a cup. He's nine, he's cute (I'd show you but...), he sold gallons!
After the shopping and the HUGE Chinese Auction that they do, we hung out with the other campers, enjoying our chapter's dinner of meatball subs. Then we got to the good stuff: FONDUE! Oh, you should have seen it! (Sorry, yet again!) There was a garlicy-peppery-cheesy one (great with bread chunks), and a refried-beans sort of one (with the bread or the tortilla chips), and peanutbutter-white-chocolate (good on the bread, pound cake, donut holes, or the FUDGE that Connor donated to the cause), and butterscotch (paired well with the fudge, donut holes, pound cake, and strawberries). I keep thinking there was something else, but why should I torture with words when the (absent) photos would do it so much better.
Well, for the June campout, I resolve to NOT FORGET THE CAMERA..and to bring some fabulous fondue, since that'll be the "theme" next month...LOL Meanwhile, I'm going to try to get at least a few shots of the jewelry...
