Roasting

Kris and I found Mango Jalepeno Chicken Bratwurst....we bought them, went home, and built a fire. Cookout!

My brother James came out, too. It was a beautiful day up in the mountains.

We invented double-decker s'mores: fudge shoppe cookie, roasted 'mallow, Hershey's chocolate square, 'nother roasted 'mallow, fudge shoppe cookie topper.

BAM. It was delish. I'm not afraid of ooey-gooey, sticky messy treats.
Niether is Rachel. She played in the dirt, too, so she had a chocolate-meets-muddy grin all night long.

There was some silliness happening in the kitchen after we put out the fire.

Dad and Kam joined in.

It all started when we realized three of us were still wearing sunglasses, well into the evening, well into our conversation.

That night we watched The Last of the Mohicans in the theatre room--what an epic film, it sweeps me away every time. Love being up in the country!
