2007 Thriftway Classic - Aloha, Oregon

THEME

We blew it here. The pulled pork got oversauced and finished unusually poorly. Better luck next time!

The chicken turn-in was a little dark, but it tasted great! It won 5th place.

Laphroaig scotch for the sauce and Amber liqueur for the ribs.

Waiting for the first turn-n, Natty hangs out in the booth.

Everything is cooking except the chicken.

Sunday morning, 8:20am. The calm before the storm.

White boards can be so useful in distracting 5-year-olds.

Dinner with the pirate...err...Jim Monihan.

Hiding with the blanket.

Natty and her grandpa Ositis.

Kim.

Sillyness before stress.

Sillyness before stress, part deux.

Jake was in a good mood.

I gotta stop letting the kids take most of the photos. Too many turn out like this.

Our salmon entry. It finished eighth.

There was plenty of turkey and veggies left over after turn-in. Dinner was great!

Judah attacks the yellow squash as part of our Turkey/Vegetable entry.

Fresh peas from the local farmers marker. A popular snack.

A tender moment with Danica and Ellie.
