Pits

It almost felt we were competing with nature for the proper time to start a fire. The kids are so easily impressed. They ran around the yard picking up sticks and branches so we could clean up the yard and start a fire. It does take a lot of patience and caution to do this with them, but the thrill only lasts for a few short moments, so we just rolled with it. I can imagine that this is one of those moments that burns an everlasting impression in their minds. It probably seemed like the moment lasted forever to them. I think that's cool.
