Marshmallows

If Mother Nature was kind to us with a gentle winter, then she has been particularly benevolent with a beautiful (early) spring.  It is only the middle of March, but we have been enjoying sunshine and warm temperatures for the past week.

To bask in the warm weather, and celebrate the arrival of the weekend, we had our first campfire of the year.  Anthony helped his daddy collect twigs and sticks to build the fire, while Jimmy, Aunt Lauren, and I cleaned off a few chairs.

A few minutes later, we gathered around the fire, and celebrated the evening with a few roasted marshmallows.

Between the smell of the campfire, the sound of the crickets, and the dirt smeared across my boys' faces, I can tell that summer is right around the corner.
