Having recently returned from the Beaver Family Camp weekend the boys are well in to making camp fires and cooking marsh mallows and biscuits on them. I am not sure it is just how good it is that I have a 6 and 7 year old that seem keen to make their own fire!!!! Last weekend they nagged me senseless to help them make a fire and went as far as collecting all their wood during our Superworm Trail. Finally much against Tina's will I gave in and got an old wok out which I then allowed them to use their Beaver skills to prepare the fire. Once they had arranged all the wood I then lit the fire for them and we sat back and watched the flames until we were left with a pot of hot embers in order to cook on.

| The boys picked a good selection of wood in varying sizes and within no time at all the flames were roaring from the wok. |
 |
| Joshua feeling like a proper man who can make fire!!! |

| Little B being safe and keeping his distance. |
 |
| I hope I don't live to regret letting them have a camp fire in the garden! |
 |
| With only hot embers remaining we start cooking some yummy marsh mallows. |
 |
| Brandon has a cheek full in his mouth and a triple whammy stacked on his cooking skewer. |
 |
| Joshua getting ready to sample his cooking whilst me and Brandon get toasting more march mallows. |
 |
| Through the teeth and around the gums....... |
 |
| So proud they finally got to make a camp fire in the garden and to do some cooking. |
 |
| Looks like I need to buy myself a garden fire fit so that we can start doing this a bit safely and more comfortably in the back garden. |
