A Day of Play

This weekend found us at yet another super-fun Carver Play Day. It was supposed to be another water play day, however, when we got there, the Daddies seemed to have little time to set up pools, water guns and slip-n-slides. They were a little too busy trying to figure out how to start a fire in Mr. Will's new fire pit. All we wanted to do was cook some hot dogs and maybe put together a few smores. You would have thought we were attempting to build a fire that would heat the entire Blount County for the entire winter. Alas, we were able to eventually eat hot dogs. The fire was large enough to cook them (well-done on one side, nearly rare on the other...but who's complaining?) and certainly warm enough to melt "smarshmellows" to make smores. The fire was not big enough to to heat your toes on an October camping trip, but it got the job done!

Hard at work. Why is it that a fire, or lack thereof, makes a grown man set out on a mission like no other?

Drew decided he needed to help the daddies get dinner going!

Cooper didn't touch a marshmellow or a hot dog, but he certianly enjoyed cooking them!

At first glance you might think "oh how cute, she was a big mouthful of smores in her mouth." However, it's two grapes left from dinner she kept her mouth for over an hour. Chip said he was embarrassed that his 2 year old was already dipping!

Jack just got finished showing me his clean hands. He was the only one smart enough to stay away from the ooey-gooey marshmellow mess!

My sweet girl...sans the grapes, finally.
