Marshmallow Roast

This past weekend we had planned to go camping with our good friends but plans fell through.  So.....we decided to just take a ride up the canyon Sunday afternoon, take stuff to make smores, and have us a marshmallow roast.  It was a pretty drive and the kids had a blast. We are definitely going to have to do this a lot more often.  My goal is to do some sort of (cheapish) activity with my kids every weekend until school starts.  Last night they had their first experience at a drive in movie theater. It was a spur of the moment idea but my Mother in Law and I decided to take the 3 boys (Kent is out of town). I'm glad we went. The two youngest quickly fell asleep but Austin loved it.  I haven't been in probably 20 + years so I had forgotten how fun it is. I didn't get any pictures of the movies last night....(shame on me) but I did take pictures of our marshmallow roast up the canyon.

You can't tell because the pic is so small (argghh!) but Kent looks like a chipmunk.  Cheeks full of marshmallows.

Cameron & Austin sharing a rock with their grandma.  Yes...Cameron is cross eyed....on purpose!

Austin fixing himself a smore with grandma watching.

Austin eating a smore. He wouldn't look at the camera so I had a hard time getting a good pic of him.

Kent roasting

He looks like he's going to puke but he really isn't....he just has his mouth full.  I think this is what you get when you "try" to smile with your mouth full of marshmallow.

driving home in Tooele. Thought the sunset was beautiful!
