Backyard S'mores

One of our favorite things about our new house is the backyard.  There are 3 acres of woods back there.  The kids love going back there, although the mosquitoes are ferocious!  Evidently, Michigan mosquitoes don't know that bug spray and citronella candles are supposed to keep them away!  Oh well!  We have fun back there anyway!  The other night Jeremiah built a fire in our fire pit so the kids could roast marshmallows and eat s'mores.  They thought this was great!  Ally and Drew were the "wood gatherers" and Jeremiah was the "fire pit master."  We had a fun time!  Megan, by the way, was already in bed!  She'll get s'mores one of these days!

They were waiting to roast marshmallows.  Notice how light it still is outside-it was after 8:30 pm!

Doesn't Jeremiah look so proud about his fire!

Eating her first of many s'mores!

Drew even ate s'mores this time!  He usually just eats the marshmallows.  He loved them!

Roasting marshmallows over the fire

We had a great time.  I have a feeling this will be a regular event around the Washburn house this fall!
