Sounds like a good recipe for disaster, right? WRONG! We had so much fun last night with our "camp out". We got a burn permit to take care of the brush and wood we cleared out from our property. Sadly, it included some good firewood, but, since we don't have a fireplace or need for wood, we needed it removed. This sparked the idea that we should have a cook out and roast hot dogs and marshmallows.
The girls had a blast. Gianna looked like an Amazon woman with her cooking spear and, like our fearless child, was much more comfortable around the fire than her big sister. Emily is a bit more cautious and careful around things, which is an added blessing.
We made a table out of our debris cart (it's like the super duper wheelbarrel but rectangular and metal with four wheels and a pull handle). I laughed at how redneck we probably looked, but enjoyed it so much!
We talked about fire and how dangerous and how beneficial it can be, depending on the situation. Emily is great at presenting us with the opportunities to explain things since she is so curious and asks tons of questions and then repeats what she has learned (to anyone willing to listen to her recitation).
