Backyard Bondfire

One day Devin was cleaning out the garage and decided that the leftover bundle of campfire wood was taking up too much space. So he thought it was a good idea to build a fire right in our own backyard. We gathered some chairs around, hung out, and watched it burn all night! At first, Kayla didn't like it because it was too smokey. But once it got going, the smoke died down and we cooked hot dogs for dinner.

Then we busted out the marshmallow sticks and made S'mores! I like to make them with Ghirardelli chocolate squares with caramel filling.

And they were ooey, gooey, good!

Whitewater Picnic

We've lived in the desert for a long time, but neither one of us had ever been to Whitewater. So about a month ago, we decided to pack up a picnic and drive up there to spend a nice Sunday afternoon at the park. It was awesome and we had so much fun!

After we ate lunch, we played catch.

And picked pretty flowers.

Smell the flower Daddy!

Then she liked to replant the flowers in a dirt pile.

We also blew and chased bubbles.

And pet the friendly doggie walking by.

Here we are checking out the fish in the pond.

We followed a trail through the desert.

It led us right to the Whitewater River!
