A few weekends ago we had a large group over, my parents, my brother and his wife, a couple friend of ours, the neighbors, etc. We had so much fun just relaxing and roasting hot dogs and making smores. It was the sort of thing you do and then think, "why didn't we do this sooner?!" I even pulled out a string of colorful lights that had been sitting in storage for TWO years and strung them on our back porch (you can see through the window). Perfect!
So, last night we made a fire, just the three of us, and used up the rest of the smores materials. Chris, by the way, is not a smores fan. But he obliged, perhaps because I was SO excited, and we just sort of sat and enjoyed the quiet. (We also had to do some shifting, as it was quite windy out...)
D also had a couple fireworks, so we did one of those. It was good, but silent, a fact I'm sure our neighbors appreciated.
The fireflies were out, too. Our large yard (and adjoining yards) are perfect for firefly watching, and they glowed into the night as we wrapped up our chairs and headed back inside.
