Here are some highlights of our time at Lake Texoma with my Dad and Christie over Labor Day weekend!
When we got there camp had already been set up and Dad and Christie were chilling in the shade.
Since they have been trailer camping for a few years now they have quite the trailer decor to make their campsite extra homey, gotta love the Texas flag since we were on the Oklahoma side of the lake!
Dad is a great cook and while we all chilled with our drinks he got to work finishing the Brisket he had been smoking all day. He topped it off with homemade bbq sauce and cole slaw!
I woke up the next morning at what the clock said was 1 pm. I freaked out thinking I missed breakfast, cause Dad always did amazing breakfasts when we were camping out. Not to worry it was only 9 am (after I tried and couldn't go back to sleep cause that is WAY to early to awaken on a getaway weekend) I came outside to find Dad cooking breakfasts like an Eagle Boyscout.
After playing a couple rounds of poker, where I took all Drew's money :), Dad and Christie taught us how to play Tripoly. It is a combination of Hearts, Poker, and Gin Rummy... SO MUCH FUN! We have been trying to play it ever since we got back but our friends are really gamers :(
Dad put Drew in charge of smoking the ribs for the night since he wasn't feeling that great... it was Drew's first time to smoke em out. I think he was a little nervous at first since Dad proved to be a master smoker with his Brisket the night before.
But Dad helped him out and they added a little secret ingredient.
Everyone was working on dinner except me, someone had to document these memories and I was busy gluing lima beans on a wreath every chance I got, maybe one of these days I will get my act together enough to finish that craft!! Anywho, Christie had the baked potatoes under control while Dad was making homemade apple cobbler, yum to the freaking yum!
Isn't he just the cutest ever?! He was SUPER excited and proud of how those ribs turned out, especially after Dad kept giving him a hard time about how often he was checking the coals ... they were falling off the bone delicious!
Dad has lots of pictures from my high school graduation up and I was hoping to get a good one to replace some of those but I absolutely hate the way I look in this... he is rocking the chili pants though!
The drive home was BRUTAL! 6 hours back and knowing all you have to go back to is work is the absolute worst (I know I know we should be thankful we even have jobs, we are it just sucks sometimes)
He kinda lost it somewhere between Childress and Amarillo.
We had an awesome weekend spending time with my Dad and Christie! Hoping to see them again soon!
