Campfires & Nature

So we had our first campfire of the summer--I LOVE campfires!!! : ) Nathan's quite the little fire-bug himself! While I don't have a picture of Nathan running around with a smoking stick (just one of his favorite campfire activities!) I do have a picture of one of his next favorite campfire activities--marshmallows!!! He's pretty versatile--he'll take them roasted or not-roasted!! : ) Cutie! 



Then there's Scott with--I kid you not--a smiley face roasted marshmallow!!! I couldn't believe it! He was about to pop it in his mouth when I saw it; I told him not to move while I ran for the camera (serves me right for not just bringing it out with me, huh?). Anyway, by the time I got back, the marshmallow was a little droopy, but I think you can still picture it...


OK, so Alan's picture isn't so much about the campfire as his "cool new knife"!! He loves it! This isn't a very good picture of it, but it actually is kinda cool--I like the handle! Look at his sweet little face admiring his "new toy", *sigh*......


Then of course we had the great fire-fly chase! I'm not sure which Nathan was more amazed by--the fact that their little bottoms light up.....or what comes out of their little bottoms!! Kid you not, fire-fly poop, right there! Ah, life with boys......gotta love it!!!



Then of course Scott needed a picture of his new friend! (If you look REAL close you can see a little spec on his shirt.....yes folks, that is indeed a fire-fly! : )  



And if all that weren't exciting enough, we actually have 2-3 bats that regularly fly around our back yard looking for dinner in the evening. It's really fun to watch them flying--not so easy to get pictures! Maybe I need a new camera......hmmmm......
