Firelighting

On a weekend when my girls were over, we did a camp fire to roast some marshmallows.

.

We started with gathering kindling and tinder. Which seemed an onerous chore for both of them, with me constantly reminding them we couldn’t roast marshmallows until we had enough gathered.

.

Then we started setting up a fireplace with broken house bricks, of which we have in abundance. Explanation was given why we don’t use river rocks.

.

Then we formed a teepee over the fire starter of very light twigs and slowly progressed in size to ensure a sustainable burn.

.

Success!

Marshmallows roasting! Best thing ever!

.
Apparently, the smoke is too much to deal with…

.

Even Nanna and Poppy came out to burn some marshmallows.
