Campfire fun

If Dan the man can take to the woods then we can improvise some outdoor fun of our own. Well, minus the outdoors part anyway. This is my fire. See, city girls can make fires too. You just light the paper at the arrows. Easy!
The kids and I all agreed that the best part of camping is the smores. We don't have to go outside for that! This is how city folks make smores, well actually I would have made them in the microwave, but the kids dig the fire.
They liked just being next to the fire. It is something different and I have to admit it does add a bit of ambience without the threat of being eaten by a bear. I can live with that. Oh and Vanessa decided that she didn't need to wash her face after dinner. I bet she will rethink that decision when she sees these pictures.

Logan did enjoy his smores. He had a hard time keeping is little fingers off the fixings while I was cooking the marshmallows. The evidence is on his face. He told me he was eating chocolate while I was busy perfecting the marshmallows aka not burning them. I didn't realize what he was saying until I turned around just in time to take this picture. I think he knew I wasn't listening.



Speaking of not paying attention, Vanessa decided to do her own photo shoot of her favorite person, herself while I was busy with the aforementioned marshmallows. See it isn't easy to get a good shot of yourself even when you are naturally gorgeous. By the way, she decided she didn't need to brush her hair either. I hope she has learned her lesson.

This was great! I am quite the city girl myself; don't get me wrong I love a good hike and bonfire, but I want to be sleeping inside and have a hot shower before bed too! I love the action shots of Vanessa eating, very becoming & Logan looks like the cookie monster with that chocolate grin.=) I am so jealous you have a fire place!
