Summer Pasttimes

I've been a bit distracted this week... by facebook. It's such a shame.

Last weekend we had such a blast. We decided rather last-minute that we were going to have a "bon" fire and invite some friends over. It was the most relaxing way to have company. We provided the s'mores and some chairs. The turnout was great (unlike our last party). There were just enough little people to keep each other occupied, though there was a "designated" babysitter. Em brought the ladder ball, which we (mostly I) broke. Though with a bit of electrical tape, it still had some life it in. Maybe I'll find her a new one at a garage sale... One friend brought some sparklers, which brought back memories from my childhood. We used to have them every July 4th at Grandma's house. They were so much fun. Josh thought they were fun too, though we had to remind him that it didn't go near his face... I wish I had gotten a picture, he was so fun to watch. He and his friend Jane played late into the night while we talked around the fire. Good times. I think it should be a monthly summer occurrence.
