We made smores for the first time. Piper was most interested in the "raw" ingredients, as the finished product was "jus too sticky on my hans". However, I think she ate her bodyweight in graham crackers, marshmellows and "shocolate" and made the rounds making sure everyone knew that "fire is dansheris". They recently had camping week at school and I think the campfire was a hot topic.

And we fished for the first time in the pond. What a good time it was! We've been feeding the first every few days since we added them too the pond and they are quite eager feeders. So as soon as we threw the baited hook into the water, within a few seconds the bobber was going under and we had a catch! It was perfect entertainment for a toddler's attention span and gave her a chance to see what fishing is all about. She was quite amazed at what the fish looked like out of the water, but wasn't sure she wanted to touch them.

We've already gotten requests to make more smores and fish again.

Mike will be so jealous when he sees these pictures! He'd love to have property with a pond for fishing! Looks like a great time...
