Smore please
Ok if you don't like smores... I don't know what to tell you. I mean even my sweet fiance who doesn't like to eat sugar can't say no to them! Even though we weren't tent camping, we still had a nice outdoor area complete with a fire pit! Smores HAD to be made! I mean it's a requirement in my book if you are camping :)
The most important part of marshmallow roasting is having some good red coals to brown your marshmallows over. It you just stick them in the flames they will just set on fire, or brown but not get all droopy and gooey inside!
I like to cook my marshmallows until they are so gooey they are desperately holding onto the stick, unabashedly threatening to dive into the flames at any moment! How do you like to cook yours??
Now that is one deflated marshmallow! Perfect if you ask me :) When making smores you also have to be prepared! I like to line up a bunch of graham crackers with chocolate all ready to go, assembly line style!
Want to know another secret I learned about smores while on vacation? If it rains one night and gets all of your firewood wet... you can totally make them in the microwave (this applies to "camping" not real camping though... LOL... The whole cooking part is not the same but pretty darn amusing. Especially when a certain someone sneaks out the camera while you are trying to enjoy your hot out of the microwave smore!
Can't a girl enjoy her microwaved smores in peace??
Place your graham crackers down and top with chocolate and two marshmallows. Microwave for about 30 seconds (keep an eye on them so they don't set on fire). They will get rather large and then deflate when you open the door. YUM!
I know, I know, the fire roasted are OBVIOUSLY better... but hey... tough times call for tough measures!
And after further ado... here are some more fun "camping" pictures :D
I have this tripod that you can wrap around a tree branch or pretty much anything, makes taking pictures of yourself much easier!
Along with this frog, we also saw a snake... and no I didn't pick it up and chase John with it... and yes I did try to do that to him before we were dating HAHAHA... it really is a miracle he stuck around ;)
He's happy because we finally made it to the top! That was a long ALL uphill rocky climb

I was threatening to jump off the side of the mountain... it looked more convincing from my angle :)
