Roasting Marshmallows

I have been wanting to get a free-standing fire pit for our backyard ever since we moved in. I thought it would help make our outdoor space cozy and fun. While out shopping, I found this one for a great price so I bought it and put it together for some family home evening fun! The kids and I went to the IGA, our local grocery store, and bought the makings for some s'mores. When dad came home and after some dinner we made s'mores for desert. They were delicious! I love that in all my pictures the boys faces are smudged with chocolate.
The smoke began to bother Jacob's eyes. So, the smart boy that he is, he went up to the bath and grabbed his swimming goggles. They worked well according to him. The boys had a great time and they where great listeners about staying a good distance from the fire. --emily

Great fun for FHE and summer. Great goggles Jake.
Is it possible to eat s'mores without getting chocolate all over your face?
Your big pot of flowers looks great and those pink tulips are fantastic.
