I thought it would be nice if everyone posted their favorite memory of the Bylund Bash 2009...the Lincolns will start.
Carma: Sitting outside at the picnic tables talking to everyone.
Greg: The family talent show.
Thurman: Going golfing, making molten cakes for everyone, playing Settlers, running around the dark field at night with Aunt Kristen, Nico and Anna with the glow sticks
Nicholas: Same as Thurman (minus the Settlers)

*S'more appears to be a contraction of the phrase, "some more".[2] The informal nature of this term reflects the environment in which s'mores are traditionally served and its meaning hints at the desires of campers who are not satisfied by just one s'more. Some have jokingly surmised that the name originated from people who were so busy eating the tasty treat that they did not have time to speak in complete sentences, or alternately, that their enunciation was compromised by the fact that their mouth was still full of the previously mentioned s'more.
Another theory is that the dessert is so sticky, particularly due to the combination of melted chocolate and marshmallow, that it is especially difficult to talk or swallow, and this remains the case for some time even after the entire dessert is eaten. Therefore, if someone who has finished swallowing their last piece of the dessert is asked if they'd like another, "s'more please" would be all they could manage to relay.
While the origin of this popular campfire dessert is unclear, the first recorded version of the recipe can be found in the Girl Scout Handbook of 1927.[3] The recipe is credited to Loretta Scott Crew, who reportedly made them by the campfire for the scouts.
I posted my favorite memories on my blog this morning. We are totally on the same wavelenghth! But I forgot to write about our fun with glowsticks. That was so fun!
ReplyDeleteRichard: Losing to worthy opponents at various board games
ReplyDeleteEmily: Firecracker 5k and the talent show
Kevin: Putt-putt with Thurman "Tiger Woods" Lincoln, and Book Club.
ReplyDeleteEmily: Dancing with Kristen and Emily, watching the rest of the talent show, fridge magnet quest in downtown Gettysburg with Elaine, Eric, Kristy and Melinda.
Grace: Climbing the observation tower (again, and again, and again). Pretend Nursery with the cousins. Playing in the loft with Anna during the day and surreptiously with Spencer at night. Being "Katie" for the family history lesson (she still assumes this role frequently).
Anne: The swimming pool, and lots of people to hold me! (especially Opa).
