We had a cookout tonight. Not just any cookout, but "the Best Cookout Ever". As declared by Bella.It wasn't fancy. We had hotdogs and S'mores. Cooked on sticks gathered on our property, over a fire built by Kirk and the kids. I forgot the plates and plasticware at home. Not sure what we would have done with them anyway.
Dexter (9 1/2 years old) says he has never roasted a hotdog before. Yup. Bad parenting. We clearly have done better with Bella. She's only 4 1/2 and she has now roasted hotdogs. And S'mores.
We also caught fireflies again. I'm not sure why, but the fireflies on our property more docile than the fireflies at our rental house. You can pretty much stand in their midst while they land on you. In our rental house, you actually have to chase them!
I think we'll spend most of our Friday nights on our property this summer. As we meet people we'll invite them to join us. Once we have a real house, I might forget how great a simple cookout is. I'll start thinking of all the stuff I need...potato salad, fruit salad, a "real" dessert. But really -- hotdogs and s'mores. What more could you possibly need?
