The Cookout at Nona's and Granddaddy's


Nona has been wanting to try our hand at cooking over a bonfire in their backyard for a long time, so the first night the kids and I were there we decided to give it a shot. As usual, the kids threw in their share of unexpected events such as the "hotdog on a skewer dance" by Elias; Bella eating her hotdog raw off the skewer before we could wrench it out of her hands to cook it; eating over half the marshmallows raw then crying because there weren't enough to cook... but the outcome was a lot of fun- Elias and Bella both tried their hands at cooking over the coals, and they loved eating the final products- roasted hot dogs and marshmallows- yummmmm. The next night when Talia and Tia Cara got there, we did some more marshmallows, and made s'mores. Bella got so hyper that she was on a crazed sugar-high for about an hour thereafter. She was HILARIOUS, banging her head into the couch and laughing hysterically, while Andres sang "Sugar High" in the background!
