Hamburgers, Hot Dogs & S'mores with the Cousins!
Tonight was "Cousins Night"!
The five cousins, along with our spouses, significant others, and kids got together at our house for dinner tonight.
Dick barbecued the hamburgers and hot dogs (okay, chicken apple sausages). It was such a nice day out (low 70s in SF) that we had planned an outdoor BBQ, but then the SF chilly evening came, and we all decided to eat indoors instead....
Cousins Dinner!
...except for the two little ones, who decided they wanted to stay outside, and brave the elements!
Brave, cold girls!
The highlight of the evening came when we all ventured back outside to roast marshmallows over the fire pit to make s'mores!
Here's where's the shocking truth came out:
It turns out that somehow, I've never made s'mores before! Apparently, I'm the only one in my family who has never participated in this age-old tradition. Go figure!
Cousin Bruce shows his two youngest how it's done!
And yes, you can't really see it, but there is a flame there. We have a gas fire bowl in our backyard. It was a bit windy out, so I had it turned on very low so we wouldn't have to worry about any stray, dancing flames.
