Ruby's Rubbed Ribs

Friday we drove out to Council Grove Lake to spend the weekend with our family friends, the Gordans. We had a great time spending the weekend camping and out on the lake. Here we are relaxing after being on the boat all afternoon. Little did we know the storm of the century was about to hit! Logan and I stayed in the tent while mom and dad stayed in the camper. The storm was a strong one and Logan and I were a little worried but we stayed dry!
Here's Marla and Old Dad preparing their ribs for the contest.
We had a pretty impressive spread. Three different types of ribs along with lots of sides. We packed up our food and went over to Otie and Vickie's campsit so we had more room. We had to ball the neighbors in to judge the rib contest. I think they were happy we did!
Otie was the winner of the annual rib smoke off. Check out the awesome trophy we made! Classy! We think that maybe he had some homefield advantage but we all agreed that it was probably better for him to hang on to the trophy until next year.
Finally, we went over to Council Grove City Lake to watch the fireworks. They had put on a great show with one of the coolest and biggest fireworks any of us had ever seen for the finale.
