Campfire Stories..so fun!

Tonight, we loaded up the littles and headed to Hurst for the fun Campfire Stories event!

The kids seemed to have a whole new energy upon getting out of the house! I think I did a little too!

The Texas fall air was nice. We were also happy to see some friends! The kids surprised me with good behavior while the storytelling was happening.

Talking with her daddy :)

Finn was more than happy to cuddle with Mommy

 

There were 2 or 3 story tellers, with interesting tales. The kids didnt understand much but we grown ups enjoyed it.

 

 

 

The whole area was decorated so fun and festive. Balloons were adorable. The trees had lanterns leading up the path ..there were fun haybales every where to sit on. A nice campfire to roast marshmallows on. Also, they even thought to add a place to take pictures!

After the stories, and the people began to thin out, we broke out some marshmallows and roasted them with our friends.

MMM..the only thing in the world that taste good because it was burned!

 

Lorelai implanted herself in the middle of a family(friends of ours) since they had a nice supply of food. Here she is with her friend(who was born the evening before her) bumming some marshmallows.

 

She thought the eating part of tonight was fantastic, lol.

Swear the girl acts like we starve her but just look at her sweet baby thighs, they speak the truth!

 

While all the fun took place at a park, this park is actually really nicely designed! If you drive far enough into it, the pavillion area where the event was held(also where Finns birthday party was held) its all nice and open, with all the trees to walk through. Just a nice patch of nature. This is what Finn loved. He was completely mesmerized, of course, by the open campfire but he loved having the freedom to roam a bit. I was always within feet behind him but I stayed back enough to let him feel he was getting to choose where he was going(not something mr 2 yr old gets often). He thought it was so awesome!

My independent little man!

 

Our group closed down the event. By the time we were done having our fun and leaving, they were cleaning up everything around us. So we all made the trek back to our vehicles and came home. We came back and I bathed our marshmallow covered children and tucked them into bed. Luckily they had worn themselves out and were asleep in no time.

 

I really enjoyed taking them out and enjoying our time together!
