We surprised the kids with a bonfire. It was too, too funny because we had them doing all the work to get the bonfire ready and never told them what we were doing. They were completely clueless as they....
stacked wood....
retrieved newspaper to start the fire....
gathered pinecones to start the fire....
and watched Dad make long, pokey sticks for some unexplained reason.
It wasn't until they set up the chairs that Sydney excitedly (and finally) asked, "Hey Mom! Can we have a bonfire?" *doh!* Poor Delaney didn't catch on until this moment (notice the big smile and the hands in mid-clap). I love being able to surprise them right under their noses.
We roasted hot dogs, made smores, sang songs, were entertained by the kids and just generally enjoyed each other's company.
A good time was had by all :)
