Bonfires, Smores and Feeding Fish

I'm slow getting the post up but I can't miss the chance to tell about our big Saturday night event. Our friends, Jamie and Marcie, live way out in the country and they invited out for a bonfire. We excitedly packed up for the big event and headed to Friendship! Our twin family came too so all three girls had a best buddy to play with. The two oldest were ready for adventure, the middle two were afraid of the dogs and the little two roamed the land together like they owned it!
We got there and headed down to their pond- where the girls got to fish and feed the fish. It was really fun, the kids could throw the pellets in and then we could see the fish jump up to get the food.
Up the hill by the house they have a great tree swing. Even the adults took turns, and let me tell you both mommas present squealed a little during their turn! It went high!
Then they started up the bonfire and roasting marshmallows for smores. Our girl had never got a chance to do marshmallows over a real fire before so it was very exciting. Sahara quickly caught hers on fire while Bria commented that her marshmallow was not marshing! One of the dogs kept taking Tirza's graham crackers from her, luckily she isn't scared of dogs ,like Bria is, but after the third time she was starting to get a little irritated!
The girls roamed around all their open space and the adults sat around the fire and talked and relaxed. It was also a great weather day- not to hot, no humidity- a perfect evening to spend outside.
My blogging does not do the evening justice- thank you friends for such a fun relaxing evening!

I'm so glad that you all came and had fun! It was a great night!! It is one of my favorite things to do :)
Sorry about Menne and her quest to take all of Tirza's food. She's kinda like that sometimes...hope that's not an indication of how our children will be :)
