PICTURES AND FOOD

Since we now have our 2012 CRAP t-shirts it is time for pictures.  We decided to take pictures after breakfast.  The agreed upon time was 1:00 p.m.  Everyone gathered in the back yard around the pool.  Numerous pictures were taken, and I am not going to post all of them.  However, below is a family picture, and one of me with Brian and Kevin that I think turned out really good.   






After the picture taking session it was time to get in the pool and cool off.  It sure was hot.  And, I’m sure you noticed that a lot of us had sunglasses on.  The afternoon was spent trying to stay cool.  We usually played games on Saturday afternoon – last year was Granny games – but this year it was pool time. 
 

We had our CRAPSTOCK (Idol) after supper.  That will be a separate blog with lots of pictures.
 

I want to say a great big thank you to Kevin and Renea for the use of their house and pool.  Also, for the food.  Before CRAP Renea had baked breads and muffins for Friday morning breakfast.  She fixed french toast casserole for Saturday breakfast.
 

A little more detail regarding the food follows.  Renea had to work Thursday so I fixed a pot of “Althoefer” bar-b-q with cole slaw.  Renea had fixed macaroni salad the day before to go with supper. 
 

Friday morning breakfast, as I mentioned, was the muffins and bread that Renea had baked.  For lunch was cheese, pepperoni, crackers, etc.  Supper was hamburgers and hot dogs fixed on the grill by Kevin along with all the fixins (potato salad, macaroni salad, beans, tomatoes, etc.).  Renea also baked brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
 

Saturday breakfast was the french toast casserole.  Late in the afternoon Renea fixed cheese and chocolate in fondue pots in which we dipped bread, fruit and veggies.  Supper was fix your own shish-ka-bobs which were grilled by Rick.  They included potatoes, onions, chicken, beef, peppers, mushrooms (all the goodies). 
 

Renea baked the CRAP cake for dessert.  She even used the ty-dye theme for the sixties.  Rita took a picture, and then the cake was eaten by all.  Sure was good.




Thank you Kevin and Renea for all your hard work.

Colorful crew! Looks like you are all having fun despite the heat. Your places must look like campgrounds with everyone there with their campers. Still at Addison Oaks for another week.

I am catching up on all your recent blogs and have enjoyed reading about the CRAP games this year. Sounds like another successful weekend party at the Akers! Your yard looks very nice and the flowers beautiful. Hope the birds keep coming. Please tell Jana and David hello from us. Take care.
Love, Arlene and Bob
