One of the funnest things about our house is the fire pit Dan built in the back yard the first year we moved in. With all the landscaping and yard clean up that was done, he was sure to find space for one of his favorite pass times…..Gazing into the fire on a cool dark night.
Well, the kids get their love of camp fires from Dan….they can’t get enough of them. Usually I let Dan handle it when they want to have one, but on this particular day when they came and asked for a HUGE BON FIRE, I thought….what the heck!! “Go build it, and I will come help light it” I told them. And off they went.
It was about 20 minute later when they came back in telling me they were ready to light it. So out the door I went, matches in hand.
Is this what they learn in scouts or did their dad teach them this strategy? Oh well…..doesn’t really matter….it burned, and they loved it.
Notice Kase, our resident firefighter. When he noticed a couple ashes float a few inches away from the fire, he didn’t miss a beat. Way to go Smokey the Bear!
