First Campfire

We have a little fire pit-type thing in our yard that we’ve never used.  This summer we planned to build a campfire when we camped out in the tent.  However, we went to someone else’s house for a cookout that same night and didn’t get home until the kids’ bedtime, so it was too late to start a campfire at that point.  We decided that we would just do a campfire some other time even without camping, but just got around to it last month!

DSCN9626We found some marshmallows in a store here that was having an “American Days” sale for a week.  This was the kids’ first experience roasting marshmallows in a fire.  However, we gave Sienna a banana instead (as you can see in the picture above).
