Campfire

submitted by MaryXmas to Fatherhood 9 monthsJul 7, 2024 11:32:53 ago (+16/-0)     (Fatherhood)

Today we had a campfire. We flipped through an old campfire cook book to see what they looked like and then the kids piled in the red wagon. We went to the oak woods on the back lot. My daughter loved watching everything and my son went around grabbing every stick in sight and lightly put it on the fire, just like I taught him. We learned about fire safety, how to put sticks on the fire and how to identify brown and dry sticks that would be good to burn. We would have roasted marshmallows but we had a tantrum earlier so we lost our "special treat". There was lots of poison ivy but that will be a lesson for another day, I am hoping we made it out ok. We also found 3 frogs under a log and got to hold one. That was a big hit.

A dad is not the same as a father, be a father.

Nice. Thank you! I figured they'd make good toilet paper but I've never heard of the other things to use it for. I might give those flowers a try.

My grandma made a tea out of it for dad when he had stomach problems.
