On Monday night we took the kids out to build a campfire at the Eagle River campground. We cooked some brats, ate some junky camp type food (yum!) and watched Daddy eat some smores - the kids and I ate too many brownies and cookies and chips, we didn't have room for the smores! Other than the 4 or 5 separate trips up to the outhouse Matt got to make with the kids, one at a time (they were torturing him deliberately, I think! and we were parked about as far from the latrine as possible...), we had a great time. The kids like fire, dirt, leaves, rocks, and sticks. Well... Jake, at least, likes sticks. He carried a rather large one around. But he didn't hurt anyone so it was all good!
We'll be back, later this summer, I'm sure. Maybe next time we'll walk down and check out the river too. Add that in with some fire and all the other camp site goodness and I'm sure the kids will be blissful... :-) Maybe one of these days we'll convince Bentley that bringing the tent along would be fun?! Jake & Viva are on board, but Bentley & Mommy need a little nudge.
You have to love Alaskan summers. It was after 9 pm when I took some of these pictures and it was still beautifully light out!

I love Viva's cupcake shirt and I love that your kids actually look at the camera! They are so well trained :)
