Family Camp this weekend was a success. I cooked up a turkey and took it they were taking turns with meals so I did that for my turn. I had a turkey I wanted to use up this was a great opportunity. Turkey to share was great. Getting it thawing ahead of time helped with the use of my phone reminder.
It was pretty simple to just put it in the oven, then I transported it out to the camp ground 15 min. from our house by placing it on a cutting board with towels around it and seat belting it in the other front seat that worked out great.
This was the best camping food I have ever had, deviled eggs with bacon, green beans, summer sausage, cheese, spicy hot raspberry jam snacks, pin wheels wraps cut in slices, green salad, were a hit.
Family came drifting in from all over the area, in laws, ex-inlaws, future in laws. Tents pick up canopies, put trailers, horse trailers, a jeep or two and outdoor kitchen set ups, pop up shade tents, five dogs, folding tables, canoe a couple of birthdays to celebrate mad the weekend festive. I took out my extra life vest. That was well received.
There were five dogs and they were well behaved. The change of pace in our summer was great for having a break and getting out of the rut.
Neighbors camp trailers were gone this weekend as well it is a popular thing this time of year.
It is easier to do the the safe distancing at a camp ground that at some one's home I discovered. The camp site they were able to get was one with our power and only a community water place but worked out okay as we had our own way of using propane for cooking and brought beverages, and water jugs.
I am glad I kept the camping gear as I knew we loved that and most of it came in handy.
