Itching to roast marshmallows...in January?

Our family spent the day working in our yard. The highlight was testing out our fire pit with a hot dog & marshmallow roast this evening. Faith even invited the little girl next door over to join in the fun. She took a few family pictures of us. Even "kitty-kitty" is in this picture. He also seemed to enjoy hanging around the campfire, although this did cause Jaron quite a bit of distress. He was sure the kitty would jump in the fire. While we cleaned the fire pit and Dave built a fire, Jaron ran around the yard shouting, "I can't wait, I can't wait...we are going to camp marshmallows!" None of us corrected him. It was too cute!

Faith trying a marshmallow, "daddy-style." He says toasting a marshmallow until it is golden brown is a waste of time and seriously over-rated. I completely DISAGREE!


It's hard to believe when we first moved in, we couldn't even see this fire pit through all the grass, shrubs, trees, garbage...


Thank you El nino, for a fabulously warm January day.

Awesome fun! I agree with Dave on marshmallows, but Shelby would TOTALLY take your side! He has Caleb in-training to take over his marshallow perfection legacy. :)
