I fell into a Burning Ring of Fire

I know this blog is out of order, but we went through quite an ordeal trying to put together our Halloween party that I feel that it deserves to be blogged about. For Halloween Alicia and I thought it would be a good idea, since we have no cute kids to dress up, to through a party and movie night at the house we were house sitting for. We had originally planned for a fondue extravaganza but when we actually thought about the amount of money that involves we went back to the drawing board. We finally decided that we were going to do Tin Foil dinners like you use to do as a boy scout. This meal consist of ground meat of your choice, generic all blend seasoning, carrots, potatoes that have been microwaved for 6 minutes with a little bit of water to soften them, and onions for more flavor. Next you place the dinner wrapped in foil on hot coals for 15 to 20 minutes and wallah you have a Tin Foil dinner. The dinner was a blast, my whole family, Dustin and Stephany, and Chris and Kendra showed up. My favorite part was breaking up the ambers with my brother. We couldn't seem to do the job with the fire poke, so we tried a sledge hammer instead. Not such a good idea, if you look closely enough in the picture you can see where Tyler missed and hit the brick and broke it off. All this was done while i was trying to say "Watch out, be sure not to hit any of the bricks."It wouldn't have been a family outing if something didn't brake as a result of Tyler or I being there. It was a blast for all that attended. We followed up dinner with a movie called; "The man who new too much" by Alfred Hitchcock.
