First Fire

It is officially Spring here at our house. Almost all the snow is gone and our little spring runoff creek is flowing. Last Saturday we told the boys that if they helped with Spring Clean up inside and out that we would make a fire pit and have dinner outside. It worked! They busted their hump all day and we accomplished all that we needed to. So that evening we roasted smokies, ate our first potato salad of the year and finished up with marshmallows, some perfectly golden brown, others perfectly charred. After all the food was cooked we tried out a "Mystical Fire" packet that turns the flames of your fire different colors. The boys LOVED! We look forward to many more memory making evenings this summer. Thank goodness for a wagon to buckle Tripp into so he would stay safe while we were roasting. Now to get rid of the Croup and ear infections plaguing us this week...

We are going to eat outside tonight too! It looks like a lot of fun. People don't realize that you can have lots of fun for little or no money.

It's the fun stuff like this that you do with your family that remind me to stop and do fun things too. Thanks for being such a great example. :)

I LOVE spring time weiner roasts! Looks like you all had a blast!

sniff, sniff ... now I'm a little homesick! That was one of my favorites growing up, all the weiner roasts after piling brush and cutting down trees all day in the spring. I miss gum boots, mud and weiner roasts.

Sounds like so much fun Summer. My kids love doing stuff like that, and I really need to make it a point to do it more often!

Wow! I can't believe that all your snow is almost gone. It is spring here in Taylor too! Wind! Wind! Wind! Wish we could do a weiner roast here too! Still building fires to keep up warm! Crazy! Can't wait to join you around the camp fire too!
Love to all!!
