We have a chimney pot that Mom and Dad gave us a few years ago. Since building our patio we have used the chimney pot many, many times--almost always to make s'mores. One day last week Emma and I picked up sticks, broke them into the proper size and got them ready for the chimney pot. Last night Tim decided it was time to put them to use.
Tim and Annie like to lightly toast their marshmallows so that they are lightly brown on the outside, but gooey on the inside. I like mine black and crispy on the outside. Emma will toast them to order for others, but her s'mores are sans marshmallows. She'll take half a Hershey bar sandwiched between two graham crackers thank you very much. I'm guessing the first, but not only, problem with the marshmallows is that they are just too messy for Miss Emma Kate.
The sun was going down as we roasted our marshmallows, and the temperature was a bit cool, but those fifteen minutes were a perfect ending to our day. We are so excited that our summer break is almost here. We are truly happiest in each others' company. We are making an effort to simplify our lives, and there is much fun to be had around a small fire--especially when there is chocolate involved!
Every once in a while, I do hand the camera over to Tim and let him take a few pictures. But, really, can you tell why it isn't very often? ;)
