What are some of my favorite things about summer? Enjoying my own backyard and bonfires. LOVE it. This past weekend, we enjoyed our new fire pit after a day of swimming in the kiddie pool. Had a couple drinks, hot dogs, and s’mores. Jude even ate his first s’more (OK…only a little bite…but you’d never guess it was only a small piece by the aftermath). S’mores are pretty much the best thing ever about bonfires. I mean roasting the perfect marshmallow…and THEN getting to enjoy it with half melted chocolate and pretending it’s a sandwich. Best excuse ever to eat too many calories.

Anyway…I got a little sidetracked by chocolate…that happens from time to time. It was a perfect evening. The boys got out their jeep and drove around the yard after dinner, Jude thought he was pushing the older two in the jeep, that was just too funny.  It was hot, but not muggy, it was sunny but not blinding. It was everything I adore about summer.
