Fire Pit

For Labor Day Weekend, we were going to head down to Panama City, FL for an over-nighter beach trip, but that didn't work out with the tropical storm... that later consumed the entire southeast. The kids were so disappointed! So to lighten the mood, we decided to have a night around the fire pit, and let the kids sleep in the tent in our living room (still to humid outside).

Ammon, loved roasting...or should I say melting his marshmallows. He liked to blow out the flames. Smores were fun for a little while, but just sitting around the glowing fire was where the real magic was!Jarom and I loved whittling the sticks for the marshmallows.

The inspiration came from the weekend before. A friend came over and helped us take down a few trees that were potential threats. Well, the kids arranged the pieces in a circle and I figured, why not make a place in the yard to enjoy the outdoors a little bit more. So I dug out a fire pit and placed a few rocks... the kids also built little huts with the tree bits. It was a fun night. Our beach trip is set for this coming weekend...
