Fifty years in the making!

Pig Roast at The Ranch to celebrate Dad's 50th birthday!
    This weekend family and friends gathered in Fishtail, Montana at The Ranch to celebrate my dad's 50th birthday. A few days ahead of time my dad, brothers, and grandpa went up to prepare for the pig roast. A HUGE hole was dug, filled with coals, and a whole pig rubbed with seasoning, wrapped in cheesecloth, burlap, and finally chicken wire was placed among the hot rocks. It was then filled back in and allowed to cook till the next day.     A few hours before the party began we pulled the pig out and then began shredding it on a large table. It was a group effort! Tables were set up and decorated with sunflowers and cattails. The tractors were proudly out on display and for riding. All across the yard were games and tournaments to play in. The boat was in the water and the keg on ice. It was a wonderfully sunny day for an outdoor party.


 




HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
