The First Bon Fire

We love to have bon fires around here in the summer. Even though the weather has only been in the 60s we thought we would generate our own heat. There's no such thing as a "small" bon fire in our firepit.


Kylee loves our dog Chip. They are best buddies.


Here's Patti throwing more wood on top of the pile. She just can't leave that fire alone. She is constantly messing around with it.


And of course the smores were AWESOME!


And here's baby Jack snuggled in all warm and toasty on Papa's lap.
Isn't summer wonderful?

  1. Lol, baby Jack doesn't look too sure about that big fire! Maybe he's wondering where his smore is.
    Too cute :)

  2. That looks like so much fun! Tell your hubby if he wants to add a little more experience to his daily grind to just hop on down to Oklahoma. We could use some of his expertise!

  6. Bon Fires are so fun! My son (16) just cannot leave one alone either. He has got to be poking, adding wood, etc. It has been just too hot for us to even light our little fire pit yet. Cute kiddo's!

  8. Just got back from our vacation, so I had to stop and say "hi". It was so nice up in WI and MI. Nice and cool. Back home here it's way too hot and humid to have a bon fire. We usually have those in the fall here.....

  12. Loving smores at this house too!!
    Had some mini bon-fires at my parents house this spring...the girls loved it. Something very hypnotic about watching a fire.
    Enjoy the ngiht

  13. Man, it's sooo long since I've been to a bonfire! With it being nearly 90-degrees everyday, I'm sure I'll have to wait until early fall to even consider it. Glad you all had a great time!

  14. We've had only one fire at our pit at the campsite....but we've had some community fires at the central pit that we've enjoyed. It's been pretty darn chilly here in New England on weekends.....fires are always our highlight to the day!!!

  16. I just stumbled upon your blog from Jemm in Flint Hills.
    Just something about the barn and bonfire looked like familiar landscape.
    So I scrolled on down through a few more posts and sure enough, another WI blogger!

    Looks like we have a beautiful rest of the week ahead... now to keep those pesky mosquitoes at bay.

  17. Such FUN! We have a little fire pit...so nice to sit around and talk and eat s'mores. My 7 yr old can't leave the sticks and fire alone either! I won't show him your pictures...he will think ours is too wimpy!

  20. Those picture bring back wonderful memories. I wish we lived in the country where we could have bonfires. Papa looks like he is enjoying those snuggles.

Sprinkler Fun

 What do we do on hot summer days without a pool?  We get out the sprinkler and have some fun!         ...
