Kids of Summer

Tonight was one of those nights you want to "freeze in time." I just love this age. First we collected wood for a backyard campfire. Then we told spooky stories while we waited for the perfect roasting coals. After that we worked on our marshmallow roasting technique (there really is an art to it). Then our neighbor offered us a nice basket of sticky rice. Finally, we finished off the night with a round of collecting fireflies. I wish I had the literary gifts to put in words just how wonderful this night was.... maybe practice makes perfect.
