Bonfires, S'mores and Camping

Before Sweetie's arrival, Tim wanted to do a bonfire and go camping in our backyard with Cameron.  They picked the weekend after Leah's birthday and had their fingers crossed that Sweetie wouldn't pick that night to arrive.  We started off the evening with a fire in the fire pit to burn up some of the Christmas tree that we had chopped apart.

There are a bunch of short pieces of wood that the kids had fun playing with.

There is a whole pile of these sticks that are great for pretty much anything you can think of.

Check it out - I have two!

Not sure what Leah was trying to make here, but she is obviously working hard.

Again, not sure what this was, but Cam is enjoying it.  They had a blast with those silly little sticks.

Time for s'mores!  Leah asked if she could take care of her own marshmallow.  We said sure and she proceeded to roast it about three feet above the fire.

She is such a little ham!

Cameron is ready to roast his too.  Tim ended up taking over for Leah so that her marshmallow would be usable for a s'more.

Yum, yum, yum!

Big bite!

Cam's finished s'more - yummy!

We love campfires!

That night Tim and Cameron slept in the tent, which was set up in our backyard.  They played some Battleship before bed.  As you can see, Cameron takes his Battleship very seriously.

A happy boy to be having so much fun with Daddy!

Sweetie did not come on camping night.  Tim and Cameron woke up bright and early with the sun and came inside because they were chilly.  They had a great night though and Cam loved sleeping in the tent.  We can't wait to take everyone camping, in the backyard or at an actual campsite.
