CMP Review 2024-12-20

We have a few spots in our neighbourhood where we like to hang out and build a fire with our friends!

One of these places is a lovely riparian wooded area here on campus (new word for today, riparian, things that exist alongside a river) that provides us with a lovely place to play as well as with ample firewood.

The children have a grand time, wandering around, gathering up tinder and kindling and fuel for the fire.

It’s not always easy to get a fire going with snow on the ground, and sometimes our fires are bigger or smaller, but they always amount to a couple of hours of fun spent outside, tending the fire, cooking new things over it, and just chatting and laughing.

This was our first time making tea out there (that silver disc is the top of our kettle). We sometimes roast marshmallows, or, when the moms are feeling particularly ambitious, hot dogs and bannock. But we always have fun!

Do you have a place you go to build a fire with your friends?
