(bon)fire

April 20th, 2011 |

One thing I miss most throughout the winter is a nice big fire! We don’t have a fireplace, so we only do fires in the summer on the deck or when we go camping. What I really want is a nice big bonfire on the beach…on Lake Michigan…with all of our friends…on a warm summer evening…and maybe a little night swim…but this will do for now.
The first fire of the year!

It’s not really a bonfire, but more like a little campfire on the deck. It’s big enough to roast marshmallows and that’s all we need.

The girls were SO into Daddy who surprised us with the wonderful treat! We may only see him one night this week, but Daddy made it a good one!

Hazel has now had her first marshmallow! She wasn’t sure at first, but once she realized its like candy she wanted more!

Hazel waited so patiently while Daddy cooked her up another treat…and Raven roasted her first marshmallow (with assistance from Daddy of course!).

Roasting marshmallows is serious business.
We are totally itching for summer of here…but in case you didn’t notice…we are all still bundling up whenever we go outside. At least it wasn’t raining so we could enjoy our faux summer evening! …And just like most days when we give Raven too much sugar…the night ended with a lot of crying…and crawling away from me trying to take her picture. This Momma needs to laugh at tantrums every once in a while. Otherwise I would be the one crying and crawling into the house…and I know nobody wants to see that!
