Home and cooling off and resting up.. this weekend Clayton and I ran over to 35th Annual McLouth BBQ Blowout. Having my youngest with me was great and all I cared about was having fun and having him there.. with baseball and all the other things in life its hard for my family to go.. we had a decent cook and felt like we turned in some really good food.. and Clayton did a amazing job of running boxes by himself and keeping dad updated on time... also talked me into putting burnt ends in the box and it worked... the results are as follows
