This is something the kids and I really look forward to. For us, it is the official start to summer, a chance to put the school year behind us and start anew.
At one point Savanah said, "I can smell 2nd grade already!" We were all pretty smelly after being out in the smoke.
We didn't just burn the school work, we cooked dinner and s'mores over it. I've noticed every time we are around the campfire there is always a great debate as to what the perfect method to roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. I prefer lightly toasted on all sides. Ethan prefers burnt.
For Savanah, the gooier, the better.
Vanessa didn't even wait to cook the marshmallows. She prefers them straight out of the bag.
While most people have dogs to clean up under the table, we have chickens to do the dirty work.
As long as I don't have to do it, I don't care who does it.

I love that tradition!
We just might have to start up the same..
Happy happy summer to YOU!
I remember you blogging about that tradition last year--I LOVE IT! (And had every intention of copying it, but....yah, it didn't happen). What a fun way to welcome in summer!
Cool fire pit! In my younger years I use to be a burnt marshmellow person but now I'm a golden brown person. I think I just have more patience now.
