Back Yard Post Race Bonfire Party!



Kirsten:  "Sit still, Tori."
Tori:  "I can't sit still!"



"Look cute, girls!"

Saturday evening Kirsten and her family, and Erik and his family, and Helena's friend, Megan, gathered at our house to celebrate the completion of the half marathon with a hot dog/marshmallow roast!  Everybody had a great time!  I LOVE SUMMER!!!!!

No stress.  No worries about kids' grades and attendance.  Kids can disappear for hours at a time with their friends looking for adventure and fun, or just crash in the basement and play video games all day long!  (Note, Will has a friend who just underwent a brain surgery a few weeks ago.  This friend has to remain inactive for 3 months.  No heavy lifting, no sports.... no swimming!  Nothing that would hinder the healing of his skull or possibly even kill him by dislodging the loose bone fragment!  But, playing video games with his friends is OK, so that's what the boys did today)  Late nights are common, and even the occasional sleep over.  Bonfires are frequent and time slows down...

I LOVE IT!
