Annual Firehouse Pig Roast
A couple of weekends ago we traveled north to a little town called Goodrich where my sister in law's parents own an old firehouse they use to restore antique fire trucks. Yes it's a thing.
Once a year at the end of September they host a big party, roast a pig and let the kids look over the fire trucks they're currently working on restoring. My brother and his wife came to town this year so we had to go. Plus the scent of cooking pig made it impossible to resist.
I hope we get more pig roast next year.
I love a good old fashioned tradition. Great photos! It's great when an uncle can squish his niece and nephew too.

Lovely photos
How freakin' cool to own an old firehouse!
I'd want one, but hell I'd be happy with a helmet too

What fun! My hubby & I LOVE bbq (we're from NC, we can't help it).
It feels like I say the same thing every time I comment - but your kids are so cute.

Those pictures are phenomenal! The one could be a Ford Ad.
I discovered you while looking for new blogs to nominate for a bloggy award I received. You got it. :)

Wonderful photos. :)
It still is funny to me that you go to my hometown for a bbq! It sure is a small world. Is that the firehouse right downtown?? Well, as downtown as you can get for Goodrich. ;)
Hope all is well in your world,
Amy (your old roomie)

Amazing photos, each and every one! Would you mind sharing what camera you are using. I know the camera 'operator' is the most important part but I'm looking for any and all support I can get. Also, do you photoshop?
