there is nothing better than an epic fire... and the bonfires at my parents house in clackline are famous! the build them up until they are so big it's ridiculous and then light them up with family and friends around to share the fun.
(mums helpful path from the house to the paddock)
this one over the weekend was no exception... there was a stack of us on hand to watch as dad tipped a bunch of petrol around the perimeter (goodlet's love fire and explosions... i swear it runs in our blood!) then threw a match in and ran off! it went up like nothing i've ever seen before and between grace cackling and maddie screaming... it was certainly a sight to behold.
burning in full force

of course the fires are always so huge that there is no way you can get anywhere near them to toast marshmallows, so our crew of kids scrambled around collecting their own little stack of firewood to make their own fire, which after a little while was successful enough to start toasting. so cute! i love our little people!
especially this one... look at his swollen little cheeks full of marshmallows. he looks good enough to eat!
of course a party in clackers wouldn't be complete without the bestie... it was a great night!
