Hobo Dinners and Western Campouts

Normally we've had hobo dinners so as to use the fire from the burn pile...but this year we did NO yard work. (I can hardly believe it. But it rained the whole time. What is a person to do?) So we had Hayden's parents over and built ourselves a cooking fire in the back yard.

Below: Unwrapping our dinners. We were banished to the kiddie table. Hmmm.

How to Make: Smananas...Bamores...smoras....Banamores...A smore in a banana. • Slice a long strip from the peel • Cut sections of the banana out • Fill sections with chocolate and marshmallows

• close the lid • wrap in tinfoil • cook

• Unwrap and eat Tip: Make sure the banana is ripe. Ours were too green and tasted like...potato.

Wild West Camp Michael and Adam decided to sleep outside by the fire. It was almost 30°. They begged Mo to join them. But Mo mumbled something about being traumatized from his 1 month trip in the African wilderness to earn his manhood, and went upstairs to a warm bed.

These guys are prepared for anything. "Dude, did you hear something?" "Dude."

Adam said they stayed very warm and even got hot. Meanwhile, the water in the birdbath had frozen overnight.
