We had a lot of fun making a tiny fire, about 12 inches in diameter. Fina gathered her rocks and her sticks (it was a bit too wet out, so it was pretty smokey!). But we managed to get a fire going. And even roast some marshmallows! She used a candle (thanks L!) to light her skewer to light the paper and the fire. She did it many times, what a good exercise!
And being so small, it is easier to control, to add more sticks, and to not feel afraid. She wasn't afraid at all and quite enjoyed it. I'm so glad I thought to try it out (after seeing the idea online).
We made a pretty nice little pile of sticks, I think!
Roasting marshmallows
A very burnt marshmallow.
We watched it bubble like a volcano when she put it down on the fire.
Never fear, we had more!
Of course, she got to spend some time splashing through the muddy sand puddles
(in our local beach volleyball court)
And look what we found this morning!
What a gorgeous flower on our bean plant! What colour!
We are off for a birthday adventure for our little friend J who is turning 5 today. Bowling and hopefully to our favourite forest in Winnipeg for some wet and snowy and rainy and drizzly day wanderings!
