As a family, we have set aside Friday night as "FAMILY NIGHT". Sometimes, we play a game. Sometimes, we rent a movie. This past Friday, we treated ourselves to burgers and fries at the Fifties-Style Diner down the road. We intended to come back home and roast marshmallows over a small bonfire; however, while we sat in the diner eating our burgers...Rainy Season decided to finally grace us with her presence. So, yesterday, about 1 hour before the next torrential downpour...we built a small bonfire in the front yard. Let me tell you...catching anything on fire in high humidity is a challenge. Yet, we were eventually successful and had a great time making s'mores in the front yard!
Enjoy some snaphots of the event. (
By the way...someone suggested that peeing on a fire is a great way to put it out...another someone decided that he'd test out this theory. It made a very laughable end to a fun time! However, I am not posting the photographic documentation.)
