Exotic Camping

For years, we've had a Labor Day weekend tradition where we go camping

with our super close friends, Ron and Elly Moomey.

Kean's cancer put a crimp on that last year and this year.

So Elly had this grand idea to still get together (for dinner) and

have s'mores over a camp fire. 

 It was a perfect night.

They live out in the hills above Star

and between the smell of smoke from the fire, the taste of gooey

marshmallows, warm chocolate, crunchy crackers

and a few mosquitoes thrown in... 

 it was almost like camping

without all the prep work before or the laundry afterwards.

After s'mores, Ron chased Reese around on the scooters and

Kean and Bryon took turns zooming on a skateboard.

I'm certain Kean wore himself out with all the giggling and clapping.

He should sleep well tonight.

And he was almost dirty enough when we headed home

that you would've thought we actually did go camping!
