Guest Post! Just a shorty as Hailey is enjoying an evening by the fire with her Mom. Enjoy the evening ladies!
So I’ve really enjoyed camp fires ever since I was 9 or 10. I remember just sitting in my lawn chair watching the fire for hours when my family would go camping. And then when I had to go to bed way before the rest of my family, I’d open the tiny little window by my loft bed in the camper and watch the fire from a distance with my face pressed up against the screen, trying to get every whiff of camp fire that I could. I was enthralled.
I think when I was 11 or 12 my Dad taught me how to light a fire and put me in charge of making backyard fires for the family that summer. I convinced my family to have a fire probably 2 or 3 times a week! We ate lot of s’mores that year. 😂 I couldn’t get enough. I even remember sometimes having a hard time getting the fire lit because the wood was too wet or it was too windy. And of course, I was 12, so I didn’t know much. 🤦 But that didn’t discourage me. I’ve learnt better how to get them started and keep them going. I’m not a pro but I still love it.
One of my favourite things about them though is the smell. How it gets everywhere, and it stays. Yum! Your eyes sting a little from getting just a bit of smoke in the face. Clothes can smell like it for days! So relaxing.
All this being said, we spent a lovely day with Hailey’s Mom at her place today and capped it off with a fire and hotdogs and s’mores. The best!
Thanks for a lovely day Mom! Enjoy my wife and the fire! ❤️
