An English Bonfire Night

Our good friends, Kris and Mike, celebrate an England tradition and have a Guy Fawkes Bonfire Night each fall in their backyard. Kris invited Nathan and I to be judges for the pie contest this year. I offered to bring a pie to the party....a huckleberry one. We were promptly demoted from the judge seat to lowly attendee and were told to bring the pie! No problem for us. We were just happy to be invited at all! Thanks Kris and Mike for a fun evening.
