Backyard Campfire

On Monday we had a great family night. We decided to have a campfire in the backyard using the fire pit. The kids loved it, it was a huge success! They begged and begged to do it every Monday night. Look at these excited faces! (No, really, I didn't tell them to smile and beg them to say "Cheese!")



We roasted hot dogs on a stick and enjoyed spicy fries cooked in the oven.



The weather was great- we were just warm enough around the fire.



After dinner was done... we pulled out the good stuff....



SMORES!



Ashley had a little trouble navigating the marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker. Ewww sticky hands!



We had a nice evening talking, riding bikes and scooters, sharing our camping memories and planning our upcoming camp outs for this summer! We can't wait for it!

I can't wait to camp either! And I am loving the pictures with the ooey gooey marshmallows and the yummy melted chocolate.

It looks like another perfect FHE for the A family!

So fun! My kids will be so jealous! They are already talking about going camping this summer. We are all very excited.
I wish we had a firepit like this.

So much fun. I want a firepit too. We always just use the fire on the grill for smores. A fire pit would be so much better!

I like this idea so much!
You give me so many great FHE ideas. I think we'll have to go to the canyon for the fire pit though.
