Cheeseburger in Paradise

We got our 2010 camping off to a fun start at Moss Park this past weekend. Even though the weather threatened to turn nasty much of the weekend, it turned out to be comfortable with the rain and gusty winds arriving after everyone had turned in for the night Sauturday.

Highlights for the weekend included guest campers and Kiowa alumni Lizzy and Jack Logan, along with a 30 minute Skype session with their dad, Brad Logan who is currently working on contract in Kuwait. The kids got to see views of local mosques and the Persian Gulf from the roof Brad's apartment building, all from the comfort of our campsite!

Then there was the hamburger contest – I think this might become a Kiowa tradition! The rules are simple – each of the kids had to come up with a unique hamburger; to keep them from getting too gross, we also stipulated that they had to eat the burger for it to be eligible! I enlisted the help of Mike Cheatham to judge the burgers – who better to assess the impact of these creations on the gastrointestinal systems than a doctor? The result was 2 awards – Hayden Perrin for Most Likely to Cause Indigestion (I've never tried M & M's, goldfish crackers, and Tabasco on a hamburger – and I never will!), and Jack Logan (along with Lizzy Logan, and Megan & Abbey Smith) with a nicely arranged plate that included venison sausage for Best Presentation – maybe Jack will be a chef someday!

Since our very own Medicine Man is still recuperating from the attack on his knee by his doctors, yours truly Chief Bald Eagle filled in by telling the story The Legend of The Tomahawk around the campfire, and presenting a commemorative tomahawk to our visiting alumni Lizzy and Jack Logan.

I hope you enjoy the pictures; my three week old backache kept me from getting around to take as many pictures as I would like, but I still got a few good ones as well as a few still shots from the video.

Yatahey!
