Memorial Week end Macon Mo



We were invited to Ronnie and Mary Beth's place in Missouri for Memorial Day week end.  Mary Beth's brother , Timmy, puts on a barbecue every year.  We left after work on Friday and got there about 6:30.  By the time we got camp set up it was about 7:30.  We had brought food ready for supper but Mary Beth said they had food for us at her brothers.  So we went and had barbecue.  Their band, Keota, and KC and the Pickup Band joined forces and played for the crowd.  I don't know haw many people but would guess between 100 and 150.   The people just loved Katlin.  She was spot on and thrives on applause. 





Here are our campers and Louie's lone tent.
Ronnie brought their camper but the building with the red roof is their "cabin".  The middle is finsihed with a bathroom and kitchen and bunk beds. Both ends are like storage or garages.                        

Saturday morning there was a trail ride and Katlin and Sue decided to take part.  Dan had borrowed a horse from Mike but she wasn't tame enough for Katlin to ride so she rode Sue's and Sue rode Peanut.  Unfortunately Peanut decided he didn't want to be ridden and threw Sue off and ran away.  They got him corralled and although Sue was hurting pretty badly nothing was broken.  She was a real trooper.                                                            
We again played music at Ronnie's and while we were playing all these people showed up on their horses.  This picture doesn't do it justice.  The horses just went on forever.   

Again that night we went to Timmy's for another hog roast.  We all took side dishes and man was their a lot of food.  We listened to a one man band and Timmy's country band played.  We had a really good time all week end and the weather cooperated for the most part. It did rain (when doesn't it when we camp?) but mostly it was at night when it didn't matter.  It got hot the Sunday morning when we packed up to  go home.  But had a really good time.  Thanks Guys!
