2 Family Picnic at Bear Jr’s House


It was time for the Family Picnic, with Bear’s Family & Mrs Bear’s Family, so Bear Jr offered up his place, as he always does, because he has the room, and all the Smoking, heating & cooling toys needed. He & his wife & Mrs Bear are all pretty good at organizing the get together too.

So we had Pulled Pork, Dogs & Kraut, Tater Salad, and all kinds of snacks, pies, cookies, chips, and other things that were brought by the relatives.

Plenty of Beer & Soda to go around too!!!

I took a mess of pics, so you could see we all had a fun time!!!

Wow, nice place and view ! Looks like everyone was enjoying themselves with all the food and refreshments. Thanks for sharing the Bear family gathering with us, nic pics.
 
Wow. Beautiful home and grounds. And lots of happy people and tummies. Which is no surprise considering what you fed them.

When is the next one? What should I bring?
 
Nice place there John. You must be proud of your son...JJ
 
Lookin good Bear, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Don't I remember you saying he got that pond stocked?  Oh and I love water effects, must be the sailor in me.....LOL

</whispers> Did he let you help cook? Other than supervision that is?

Only one per year----Don't know when yet.

WOW.

Great pics,  very nice.

Love the landscape, you and your son lives in some pretty country.

Looks like everyone had a great time.
 
 
"Hephaestus"?  You a metal man?  Forge and all that?
Nope the closest I could come is a cutting torch and a welder. He was a blacksmith but his roman counter part was Vulcan, the God of smoke and fire. When I saw that the Gods had given him aphrodite as a wife..... sounded like my type a man.  Smoke, fire, tongs, bellows, and a good lookin woman. Now to incorporate some brew its would be perfect!

Sorry Bear, didn't mean to detour your thread.
