Time for S’more Family Fun!

I love that summer means time for backyard family fun.  Last weekend we camped out in our backyard – got out the big tent, air mattresses, sleeping bags, barbecued hot dogs, and later roasted marshmallows. What’s a roasted marshmallow without chocolate and graham crackers, right? Yes, we made s’mores!

This shows me helping the Boy learn to roast marshmallows, and Baby Girl’s first ever experience with s’mores. Can you see the pure joy on their faces? Fun!

Maybe this doesn’t make up for all the missed nights of being with my family during the school year, but it sure helps! Really enjoying these times, appreciating living in the moment, is a gift for all of us. Nothing any better than really sharing joys and simple things – like making s’mores – with your kids!
