Solomon Ward Camp Out 2013

Marshmallow munchin' around the campfire

Just my random pictures from the camp out. The weather was so beautiful. This trip was a ton of fun. Solomon members are awesome!

Easy Peach Cobbler

Canned peaches with part of the juice, white cake mix, grated salted butter, cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top. Baked for 40 minutes in 350 degree oven. Serve warm with ice cream on top.

Solomon Ward Family Pine Wood Derby

Kindsey doesn't like when I attempt to take her photo.

Atleast I got her eyes in this second one.

Kendree, her twin sister, on the other hand usually lets me.

Kallee smiling for the camera... 

My car is the light blue car in the back.

The race track...

So I got a lot of various pictures. A lot of ward members showed up. It was a lot of fun. The children get a huge kick out of watching the races. I lost the race, but I had fun making my car. I actually made mine last year, but repainted it for this year. I love ward activities. It is a great way to socialize and get to know more ward members.

Healthy Snack

Cucumber slices, carrot slices and grapes.

I ate most of this while watching a great movie, Fiddler on the Roof. A great alternative to eating chocolate, ice cream or other not so healthy of a snack.

Curling Iron block

I painted this to rest my curling iron on when hot.

I painted the wood, cut out the birds and star.

Then I used some Mod Podge to glue it all on.

Now it is on my dresser. It doesn't really match, but that's okay. My room is full of different colors.

I made this so if the curling iron fell over it may ruin the cloth on my dresser. 

Now it will be protected.

Homemade Biscuits

I couldn't find my round biscuit cutters so I used a butterfly cookie cutter.

This is how they looked before baking. 

This is country gravy over the done biscuits. Very good! 

They stay about the same size when done baking. 

Biscuit Recipe...

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup softened butter
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons sugar

In bowl add flour; salt; sugar; baking powder and stir. Add milk and melted butter and stir. Knead about 1 minute. Pat out or roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits. Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes.

So easy. I think next time I make them I'll use a fun cookie cutter again for some flare.
