Summer S'mores

My parents invited us over for s'mores on Family Night and we were thrilled to go. With all of the packing and getting ready for the move, I hadn't really felt like we had done much that was very summery. The weather was perfectly cool and it really was the perfect summer evening.
McKay and his cousin Sam have discovered the slide. He was positive that you went up and not down it.

My parents had a great fire going and the boys loved roasting their marshmallows.
All of the cousins did. I think the smell of wood burning in fire is such a perfect summer smell. I don't mind at all that it gets on my hair and clothes, because that just means that I can take it home with me and smell it a little bit longer.
And there is the perfect S'more smile.
We had quite a few of the sticky smiles going on. They were pretty cute.
See?
McKay was a little hesitant at first to try this unknown thing, but quickly became a fan, crying for more.

Don't we have a cool grandma that jumps on the trampoline with the kids? They all thought it was pretty great.
Brandon and Lincoln are such good buddies. They are both always so silly together.
McKay snuggling with grandma. McKay actually did really well on this night. His bedtime is 7:00 pm and he is usually pretty done with the day around that time, but there must be something about the perfectness of this evening that kept him happy.
Palmer was full of tricks on the trampoline (even if it meant he kicked everyone else jumping in the process...happened a few times.)
Josh took Mckay on the trampoline and he NEVER wanted to go off. He just sat and laughed and laughed any time the jumped.
They played dodge ball on the tramp.
McKay has quite the little arm. It was the perfect summer evening and I am hoping that we have a lot more of them in our future in the next few months!
