There's nothing better than sitting outside on a warm summer night, hearing the fire crackle, talking about life, making s'mores... We loved it so much that we have built a fire and cuddled outside together every night since we bought it. Jacob calls it "pretend camping." Which I interpret as getting to enjoy the luxury of camping, except you don't have to go to bed on the cold, hard ground reeking of smoke.
Jacob and Gavin were so excited as they watched their daddy make a fire. They saw Adam blowing on the flame to keep it going, so they tried to help.
The downfall of firepits... when your two year-old decides to play with the ashes the following day. Seriously, that stuff does NOT come off! I was scrubbing him in the bathtub forever, not to mention scrubbing everything he touched on the way up to the bathtub. Totally brutal.

Oh my goodness, I have no idea what would get the ashes off! I bet the Magic Eraser would work on the house, but what about on Gavin? No clue!
I love that idea. My parents have a chiminea and we roast marshmallows in it, too.
Miss you guys!
