Nana's Fire Pit



So Mady now has a fire pit...Yes it was free how do you think Nana got a fire pit? Most of us would go to Target or Costco and some of you might even got to Walmart...but that is a different rant. Nana went to a gravel company....Apparently gravel companies make small gravel by grinding larger rocks between to cones. They grind the rocks and crush them into gravel using the cones. Apparently these cones wear and are eventually discarded. Enter Nana who absolutely must have on in her backyard. So a half ton one inch thick steel cone arrives that cannot be unloaded by hand....No fear we will just tie a cable to the the back of the motor home ( Our current residence)and the other to the half ton cone. One we have this done it is simply a matter of doing 0 to 60 between then motor home (Our current residence) and the front gate...about 17 ft. away. It works...at least close enough for government mules. Now we have a FREE fire pit in Nana's backyard...this of course obligates us to drink wine and makes smores. (if there is spelling errors in this it is the wine not the smores....)

Nolan did his smores and bailed early but we caught Sophie and Chase in the act.


I like to catch mine on fire and blow them out like a birthday cake, but don't ask me to eat them






Dearest child this is your right of passage...Here is how you roast a marshmallow...




Mmmmm....Smores.........



Mmmmmm...Chocolate


What I can have ANOTHER SMORE....AKA MELTED CHOCOLATE...your kidding right I have already had 5...


No need to help I git it...


You title this one...Is it
With the cost of fuel these days...
OR
You know your a REDNECK if...
Here's to hoping Summer shows up soon and you had a safe and fun memorial Day weekend...Now back to the wine...

Smart idea about the fire pit Mady!

I really want a fire pit, don't know if I'll go that route though.

Cute pictures of the littles with the smores - Anna had her first one recently and promptly disassembled the entire thing to eat it.
