Friday was a day spent doing hard work around our house preparing for summer, and doing things that we never accomplished outside last year when we moved in. We worked all day enlisting help from the kids and watching them run around playing in their rubber boots having a blast all day! We even treated them to a lunch of hot dogs out side and mid-afternoon snow cones!
The best part of Friday, was that evening when my parents came up for a campfire around out new clay fire pit in our backyard! The kids were SO excited to eat outside and to see the fire! We cooked pork loins and hamburgers on the girl for sandwiches all around with potatoes and strawberries, which everyone loved, but the best part didn't come until after dinner.
After dinner, we ran inside for the strawberry marshmallows we'd recently gotten for Rice Krispies that I hadn't yet made. We found a few sticks in our yard to toast them with, and Papa and Grandma helped the boys toast marshmallows for sometime! It was a beautiful thing. We toasted nearly the whole bag! Papa & boys were getting along and having fun as we all sat around the fire in the cooling evening air and chatted. I couldn't have been any happier after a hard day's work. Relaxing with family around a campfire in the backyard of my home was beautiful.
