Church & Beach Bonfire

This morning, we went to Grandma's old ward. The kids were happy that they had cousins to go to primary with. The funny thing is that they combined several classes, so the boys and girls ended up being together anyway. 

In the afternoon and evening, Malcolm's daughter, Vicki, hosted a bonfire on the beach for us. We roasted hotdogs and had s'mores. 

Ghost Story Bonfire

I don't know exactly when the plan was hatched, but sometime probably on Saturday Lexi came up with a great idea that she shared with Grandma Margie. She told her that she thinks we should light the candles and turn out all the lights and tell scarey stories. Grandma loved the idea, especially since she LOVES telling ghost stories just like her mom did. She shared the idea with Papa Malcolm who thought a bonfire on the beach would make the idea even better. So...Sunday afternoon everything was packed up for a great bonfire evening at the beach. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, smores, and potato salad. Once it got dark, the last thing we did was tell very mild, mostly fun, ghost stories. Lexi even made up one of her own about ghosts in the clouds and witches and spiders and everything.
