For three weeks we have been anticipating a multi-family cookout and overnight camping soiree. We all know how hard it can be to get together with friends as much as we would like so this was a great opportunity to spend some quality time with kids and ‘grown-ups’.
The children’s ages ranges from 7 months to 5 years old with plenty of grown-ups to join in the fun. It was great to sit back, relax and enjoy the summer weather.
The Food: We started with some bruscetta with sauteed zucchini, olives and a lively tomato mixture. We then had BBQ’d ribs, burgers, hot dogs, vegetarian burgers, quinoa salad, chickpea salad, potato salad and a vegetable platter.
Trucks and cars make every party a hit!
Fresh air-popped popcorn at near midnight. A katydid joined and entertained us.
Smores for dessert! A lovely night with lovely people.
Oh, the owl you ask? The owl was in the tree just above our tent. Imagine our thrill when this creature decided to ‘talk’ at us at 5:15 am.

It was so much fun heather! Let me know if you have a multi-family campout.

I LOVE this idea. My boys love a backyard campout, but I’ve never thought of having a family get-together.
