Bonfire Party

Pirates!



 Leaf pile.  (Luke said this was his favorite thing besides eating s'mores.)

Instead of bobbing for apples (way too cold and wet) we hung apples by their stems from a tree limb and tried to get the kids to bite into them without using their hands.  It was much harder than it looked!  The little ones just gave up and grabbed them with their hands.  I think Luke had whacked himself in the eye right before I took this picture.

Tucker is making a valiant attempt - look at that tongue!

Fletcher was trying to get the entire thing into his mouth.  That's what I love about 7 year olds.  They live by the "Go big or go home" motto.

 Finally, everyone decided they were hungry and used their hands.  We did leave the apples hanging in the trees.  We thought it would be really funny to put a night vision camera out there to see if any of the deer tried to play the game too. 

Next up was a golf cart treasure hunt complete with a map (not drawn to scale which added to the adventure!).  Of course the treasure was candy....lots and lots of candy.

We finished the night with pizza and s'mores and some great memories.
