A Camp Fire and Friends

All you need for a good night can be found in a pile of wood, an ignition source, and a small group of friends. The last two nights for your mom and I, and you I guess, have been spent around a small fire with some good friends. I swear that is all you need in life to be happy. Especially if you are stranded in the middle of the woods waiting for rescue, but that wasn't the case either night. Well, if that was the case I would suggest some tarps and flares but since this was more the back yard sort rather than the hoping for rescue kind we didn't really need the flares. Don't tell that to our friend Parkhurst though, he might stop buying fireworks, and we don't need that to happen.

Sometimes life gets really busy and hectic. Sometimes we need to slow it all down and just enjoy the company of those we love and stare at a fire for a few hours over a couple of laughs. Since you are a male I am quite sure that you will love a good fire I just hope I can teach you that the outside variety are better than the ones you start in the living room when no one is looking. I promise you that those will get you grounded faster than you can comprehend. I have the house well insured but I don't need to be turning in claims like that.

When life is moving too fast, and you need a moment to reflect, I tell you now that there are worse ways to acheive it than staring at a fire dance with your friends. Even better, stare at the fire at a safe distance with your dad. Enjoy.
