CHEF 2012: Day 1

 

(Technically Day –1; the day before the conference began)

1/2 Food   1/2 Clothes

  After checking in to the hotel and unpacking we ate snacks in the lobby and met a few familiar faces and began a conversation and concluded in a jump in the pool.

It was a great evening so I took a stroll outside the convention center.

We spent the next morning helping vendors get their booths setup.  There was quite a crowd of fellows and many hands make light work!  However, it was still thirsty work so thank you again to Kate Whittington for picking up sodas !

Yeah, it looks like we’re working hard.

What with all of the sessions and shopping and meals it’s hard to socialize too!  Why not kill two birds with one stone? 

I’m sure there’s a more complimentary way of phrasing that.

After the last lecture…that word sounds much too dull…we joined friends in the hotel lobby for some cards.

Casual Skip-Bo…

…and an intense game of Dutch Blitz-a CHEF Conference tradition.

                                           “Are you looking at my cards?”

Now back to the casual Skip-Bo…

 

  Is that a “5” I seen in her hand?

Look!  In the sky!  It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…

“Suermann!”  (No, that’s not a typo)

1:20am

Inyart Family

A couple of weeks ago we visited the Inyart family and a had a great time hanging out with David.  He is quite the small engine mechanic, but even more than that he’s a great teacher.

He helped us work on our four wheeler’s carburetor and he let us practice MIG welding and plasma cutting.

 

 

The Inyart Farm-March 6th

The Inyarts are good friends of ours from church and w drove down to their farm to celebrate David's birthday. My brothers and I had a great time as you'll see in the video below:

We got to drive some farm equipment for the first time and "helped" to make a dirt barrier to keep water from flooding the garden.

Visiting the Inyart Family

Today we visited our friends, the Inyart family-it was David’s 21st Birthday and we sure had a whole lot of fun with him. Watch a video from our trip.

It was fun to be on a farm for a day…we even got to try milking a cow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We brought a few guns with us and got to do some target practice.

We also made the movie, “A Shady Fortune.”
