A new tradition!

August 30th is NATIONAL TOASTED MARSHMALLOW DAY! For those that don't know, I heart mallows. I love the sugary coated peeps at holidays (the Easter rabbits are my favorite...and the Halloween pumpkins are a close second). I love to get 5 or 6 large mallows & put them in a cup & microwave them for a bit & then indulge in their gooey goodness. I love a perfectly toasted mallow over the camp fire. I love to snack on mini mallows. I once bought a mallow that was dipped in caramel - then dipped in chocolate - then drizzled with white chocolate. It was sinfully divine!

When I was a little girl - my Grandma Anderson had a drawer that she kept mallows in & a few would occasionally escape from the bag & I'd dig through the drawer & find them. They were stale & I stilled loved them. I called them 'little crunchies'. Yum.

Since I had never heard about this fabulous day until Sunday afternoon - I had to make a plan! I attempted to get my family together at the Box Elder campground - but alas - everyone was busy! DIDN'T THEY KNOW WHAT DAY IT WAS!?!? They'll all have to pencil it in for next year. Casey & Caleb & I went and celebrated the awesome day anyway. It was a chilly evening - but roasting hot dogs & mallows over the camp fire was a lot of fun & a cheap outing!

Caleb loves graham crackers!!

My little tree gnome. I heart gnomes.

Silly Casey. It's not NATIONAL SMORES DAY. Oh well - to each their own I guess!
I've finally purchased a DSLR camera (my 10-year gift from Flying J) & I'm clueless on how to make it function at it's best - so here are some more attempted pictures of our evening.
