Stew cookout!

We celebrated my dad's birthday this weekend. He turned 60 years young! He isn't a "party" type of guy...so we decided to have a stewcookout. We chopped veggies, dug fresh potatoes, cut up meat and cooked it all together over an open fire. We requested that people not bring gifts, since Dad doesn't need a thing. However, he loves pie.... he got 11 pies! Delicious! It was a great time, and dad told me several times it was fun. We ended the evening with music from guitar and mandolins and accordians, and smores over the fire. A wonderful time by all.
