Last week my dad decided that our front yard needed a fire pit. With the help of a good friend, and some of the kids, the dirt was dug, stones were laid, rocks were poured and where once was just grass now stand a lovely fire pit, ready to be used! We've enjoyed sitting around it roasting marshmallows and just talking twice now, and we hope to use it more in the near future. If you happen to be at our house this summer, you know what to expect! :) The following images are part of the assignment to use the long lens. :) Enjoy the pictures...
Stones are placed and now it's time to dig!
Em is always ready to offer a warm and loving smile.
Nathan drives the tractor...gotta love his expression here!
My wonderful brother doing a great job.
With a helmet, a supply bag and his binoculars, he's found himself a hole to hide in, which also helps him keep an eye on what goes on around the fort. He's rather dramatic. :)
Laughing.
William really wanted to help shovel. Unfortunately, we didn't have a shovel his size...
...so he took care of the sheep instead. :)
Layering the stones.
There's nothing like a good old fashioned rope swing!
A hat, a fire pit, and a machine that is yellow and green...all he's missing now are some boots!
Matches.
Wood. Can you guess what is next?
Dad building the fire.
My wonderful, adorable parents.
Some people like their marshmallows burnt...I think Grace just enjoyed catching them on fire!
Melting marshmallows.
Good night and we'll see you next time!
