RIBFEST!!!!!!!!!

Scott and Stephanie Ryle's Home in Tolono was the location of this year's Winchester Ribfest. The weather was perfect and the tents and bouncy house were perfect for the larger crowds of kids and adults!

Those competing( Brian did NOT this year as he had to work) have to create their own recipe of BBQ sauce to present on ribs. There is even a panel of judges who take their job very seriously!

Yum- RIBS!!!

TOns of other food too!



Here are the competitors just before the annoucement of the winners.
Winner- Adam Dill and his "spiritual advisor", Will.

Cameron, Alaric, and Charlie love playing outdoors.
Baby Cindy shows off her walking skills.

The wives. From left...Anne Dill, Andrea Shaw, Cynthia Johnson, me, Stephanie Ryle, Heidi Eckhardt, and Tiffany Jackson
The husbands. From left....Clint Jackson, Adam Dill, Brian, Ryan Johnson, Scott Ryle, Matt Eckhardt, and Jake Shaw.
Lauren had a long day and was ready for her nap!
Is it Charlie? Is it Alaric? NO- It's Spidermen!!!!




Washers- always a favorite.
I think Alaric spent two full hours in that bouncy house. I spent 5 minutes and was exhausted.


Bri spent even less time that me. That thing is HOT! The kids never seemed to mind.
Love you, Bri!
The great thing about having it in Tolono is that it is always planned on the same weekend as Tolono Days and therefore, we finish the night with fireworks. We were able to sit in the Ryle's backyard and see them all. Look at the kiddos watching!
Ooooo....ahhhhhhhhh....what a great night! Thanks Ryles for an amazing party!
