Campfire!

October 6, 2013

Some friends (well, pretty much our only friends) here asked us if we would be interested in having a camp fire and cooking s'mores. Nate had been bugging me ALL summer to go have a campfire so I was in!
We decided to go as soon as general conference was over on Sunday (still weird to me that it doesn't start til noon, ends at 6 and isn't on regular tv channels!)
Nate and I went up to the state forest (he'll have to correct me on the name but I think it was the Michaux forest??) earlier that morning to scope out a good spot and find some wood to burn. 
It was a very last minute idea so we probably weren't as organized as we could have/should have been.
We roasted hot dogs and brauts. And then of course ate s'mores which was my favorite part!! 
It was a fun night and Nate the fireman did awesome starting the fire and keeping it going. I was very impressed. 
This is the only picture we got the whole night, we were having too much fun talking and eating to remember to take more.
thanks Stewarts for a fun night!

Nate wanted to hunt the next morning and because it was such a drive up there, he decided to just spend the night up there so we didn't waste gas driving back and forth so much. What an adventurer he is! I had a dr apt in the morning so he knew he would have to stick it out until at least noon. And wouldn't you know we woke up to pouring rain! The most its rained the whole time we have lived here. He was tough and stuck it out until I could get back to pick him up. He didn't shoot anything and he was soaked to the bone! He got home and drank a big cup of hot chocolate and took a bath (which I have never known him to do before!) and he still ended up with a little bit of a cold :/
