After work and school on Friday Aaron and Dani invited us to come enjoy a campfire with them. We roasted hotdogs and marshmallows and had s'mores and talked and laughed around the campfire. It was a really fun way to relax after a challenging week. We had a great time.
Mmmmmmmm.... hotdogs!
Rae-Rae cooked her own hotdog!
Look at all the yummy stuff!
Ah... here's the smart girl. She found all the S'Mores stuff!
Raeden cooks her first marshmallow. It looked somewhat like an Oreo... black on the outside and white on the inside! But once you stick it in between two chocolate graham crackers and add a big hunk of chocolate it tastes just right!
Nice and warm around the fire. It was a beautiful sunny day!
More marshmallows ended up in the fire than in the tummies, but half the fun is the roasting anyway.
Look at my first S'More that I made all by myself!
Kota cooking another one.
Time to run off some of that sugar energy! Kota and Rae played and played, running around chasing each other, playing pirates, playing house and here they were driving their ship. Driving it fairly crazily you can be sure!
Look out for the sharks!
Those two play together so well. They both like to make up very creative make-believe-type games and they tell elaborate stories as they go. They are fun to watch. Rae just looks up to Dakota like he is the perfect playmate... which he is!
Getting dark... time for another S'More! As it got dusk we watched the bats swooping around overhead, catching mosquitoes.
Remember, when it catches on fire you blow it out, you don't swing it around. Nobody wants a flaming marshmallow on their forehead!
It got a little cooler as it got dark. Ultimately it was time to go home. Hard to drag ourselves away from the warm fire and fun chatting & laughing. But Uncle Aaron has to get up at 3:00 in the morning to go meet Grandpa to go turkey hunting... he's not going to get much sleep!
So we had a wonderful evening. Thank you, Aaron & Dani, for the invite!
