We had company this evening! Deborah, her daughters Macy and Bethany, Kristi, her daughter Joanna, Beth, her children Tara and Tim, and of course – Brad (but he’s not really company).
We visited, had pizza, then went outside for some HOT fun. Everybody pulled a bubble blower out of nowhere and started blowing bubbles. Seriously – Tim had one, then Tara had one, then Kristi had four, then Beth had two. It was a little spooky. Spooky, but fun.
We had to take a break for icy cold lemonade.
Then we had the second fire in the awesome fire pit and roasted marshmallows. Mmmmmm… I love to roast marshmallows, but absolutely hate to eat them. I wish I had a job that involved roasting marshmallows all day.
Deanne says
Lauren, I have a new job offer for you. You can come on all of our camping trips and roast marshmallows. I will see to it that you’re fully provided for -- tent, sleeping bag, food, and wine, if you’re into that. All you have to do is roast marshmallows as soon as the fire is lit.
And get here, of course. Or is there any good camping in Nebraska?
Lauren says
How well does it pay? Will I get some good badges?
(This is really Lauren, not Kristi.)
Deanne says
Gear… and badges. All the badges you could dream of. We’ll even make a special one just for roasting marshmallows!
Deborah says
Sounds and looks like a fun day -- sorry I missed it!
(BTW this is Charles -- off to St. Louis today)
Lloyd says
Are you still up for Settlers of Catan on Friday?
Brad says
I LOVE toasted marshmallows. I had five or six of them. I would have eaten more, but it was freakishly hot next to the fire.
Kristi says
Didn’t you stay behind the line that said HOT?!?!?!
Lauren says
There were lots of little people! Their ages were 2,4,5,6,and 7. So cute to watch this little amoeba of persons move from room to room.
And the s’mores were excellent!
Lauren says
Oops. I’m logged in as Lauren. This is really Kristi.
Curt says
Lauren, in that second picture, it looks like you are using one of Brad’s breakfast cups to hold the bubble juice. Is that right?
Lauren says
Yes, I am! Full points for observational skills.
Peggy says
This is Peggy, logged in as Peggy…
Excellent! Roasted marshmallows in the summer!! And a fire…in the summer! How about a picture of the fire?
Hi Deborah! I’m so envious that you got to experience the new fire pit! 🙂
Deborah says
Hi, Peggy! Come on over! Lauren would love to host you!
Deborah says
And, yes, this is actually Deborah.
