This year the Coughlan Clan held it's annual Corn Beef & Cabbage Sunday on Sept. 18th, 2011.
School was back in full swing by this time but there were some of us holding on to those lazy summer nights. On Saturday evening, Gary & Sherry and Pauline & Blaine spent the night at "Hearts Can Tent". Hollie & Danny and kids joined them for the evening as well. It proved to be chilly but nothing they couldn't handle.
Of course having a HUGE campfire did help everyone stay warm.
The girls enjoying their last campfire together while it was still officially summer. They'll miss these nights for sure.
Sunday morning proved to be a beautiful September day and the perfect day for a family gathering. At times it proved down right hot while sitting in the sun. We all knew days like this were almost gone for another year so we all soaked it up with a smile.
After much hard work by Hayward and crew, the smell of the supper cooking floated through the air and made all our mouths water with anticipation. This has been a tradition for many years and the perfect way to welcome the fall season.
The wait was finally over....supper is served!
Over 50 members of the Coughlan Clan enjoyed the delicious meal.
If you were unable to make it, this is a sample of what you missed. YUM!
Oh and did we mention the desserts? The Coughlan Clan ladies sure do know how to bake some delicious goodies!!
I'm sure if you ask anyone who was in attendance they would agree Corn Beef Sunday 2011 was another great success. We all left with VERY full bellies and perhaps a tab bit sleepy as well.
Ooops! Looks like Kendall couldn't wait to go home to have a nap after his belly was full! Caught ya!
Here are a few snap shots from another great Coughlan gathering.....
And we think the pics speak for themselves....a great day was had by all!
