Campfire Fun....

We went to a campground near my parents house for a "weenie & marshmallow roast" and to cook in the Dutch oven.Dad chopping the wood for the fireAlice getting ready to roast some hot dogsMom and Alice roasting away.....Mom getting ready to chomp....Mom and Dad roasting their hot dogs........Alice stoking the fire.....she was the official "fire stoker" for the night....This huge toad jumped up to the fire pit and seemed to want to warm up a bit. He almost jumped in the fire a few times....we finally kind got him to hop away so he wouldn't be in danger. Interesting!Yours truly roasting some marshmallows.....Alice eating her first campfire Smore.........Alice stargazing..... we ended up stargazing at a lookout point above my parents house after the cookout.....we could see the Milky Way VERY clearly and we saw a few shooting stars. It was pretty exciting to see this with Alice since she had never seen a falling star before.Dutch oven Cherry Cake.....YUM!We had a great night.....Alice said that this experience was right up there with our visit to the Grand Canyon. She really liked the campfire and stargazing.
