Fire

Noah has several activities that he needs to accomplish in Webelos so that he is ready to move up to Boys Scouts next summer. On Sunday,  we took advantage of the gorgeous fall weather, and headed out to yet another pretty park located on the shipping channel between Canada and the US.
Noah set up his own fire, gathering kindle, lighting  a match and not let it be blown out by the wind, and then feeding his little fire so that it would take off and burn brightly. He was rightfully very proud of his achievement.

Lukas, meanwhile, handled the dinner arrangements on a grill a bit further away. He cooked up his favorite turkey burgers slider style and took great care in basting and flipping.

Noah, who had prepared our desserts at home, happily handled the banana packages filled with caramel and chocolate on 'his' fire. The parents, although keeping a watchful eye on the fires, were able to let the boys take charge - we are certainly entering a new era.
