Saturday evening found us sitting around the fire pit roasting hot dogs and eating schmoes (Arrowroots, Aero bar chunks and roasted marshmallows - MUCH better than traditional Smores).
We have wanted a firepit for a number of years and this year took the plunge and boy have we had fun. This is the place I find that the boys act the most like "boys". At their age, as young men, they are often more 'cool', but around the fire, they are 5 once again and it is amazing.
Sterling thought it would be fun to see what could be put in the fire to make the flames glow differently. That, my friends, caused much hilarity. Apparently flour, salt, sugar and hand sanitizer spray all do different things. I must admit, only the flour was cool. It makes sparks - which in theory could burn the house down, but hindsight is 20/20, right? At the end of the night, there was a lot of bread making ingredients in the bottom of the pit. haha. In the midst of all of this, Kaedo though throwing some popcorn in would be fun too. See bottom picture. Some even popped right out of the pit. Kaedo said the popped kernels were "dry with a smoky after taste". Grover, hating fire, could not be bribed with the popcorn - although I think that might be because there was no butter on it, as per his usual request.
We laughed and giggled and had such a fun time. These are the memories that need to be made. The small things that one remembers forever. I am so glad that my three guys are willing to make them with me.

What a mess that must be to clean up...if you do clean it up that is, lol. We love our fire pit also especially in the winter when the mornings are a little cool. We put it on and sit out to have our coffee. No wood or paper though, just turn the knob and on goes the propane. We prefer a wood fire but this is easier and we can use it anywhere. Most parks don't allow wood fires anymore.
You're right about the memories and you do have years of them and there's still more to come.
Hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.
Love to all
