Homemade *BLAST*

Last weekend we attended a church social. It was a *BLAST*! Truly. A brother in Holland, TX...just south of Temple...puts this on every year and has for years. There are homemade burgers he grills on this massive log burning grill. Homemade potato chips. I am not a fry or potato fan...these are to die for. Really the best thing ever!! There was also homemade root beer, Taylin's favorite. She was ready to hook up to an IV of Root Beer.












The kids enjoyed the rope swing and the "Cherry Picker Ride." David even relieved the ride controls at the end.

He wasn't fond of the heights. Taylin and Cohen loved it. The evening ended with homemade fireworks, yep. Brother McKinley is a professional. This show was amazing. Up close and personal. The kids asked about them all night. We didn't think they would last that long. Kennedy fell asleep, but woke up just in time...they were very loud.
The kids plugged their ears and closed their eyes. I caught them peeking a few times. It was amazing! We hope to attend next year. Thank you McKinley family!
Turn your volume up all the way...that is almost as loud as it was!

That was a fun evening! It was great to see you. :) I loved it when the kids were screaming at one point on the cherry picker. You'd've thought it was the Titan at Six Flags. :)

Love the video!

That looks like fun. I know my parents have been to a Stake High Priest Social at Bro. McKinley's before. I'm not sure if you new this or not but Bro. McKinley is Nathan(my brother-in-law)Mckinley's Uncle. Cool Video!!
