We decided to have a bonfire after all. We quit burning stuff for a while because it seems to be bad for the lawn. But then again, everything we do to the lawn results in more weeds and less grass, so at a minimum we were basically just burning weeds.

Anyway, a bunch of people from work came down and we had a BBQ and had a really fun time. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a spider feeding, but that didn’t happen. We did catch a bird though. Kind of weird, I just grabbed it. The kids loved the fire, and we tried to cook s’mores but the fire was way too hot, so we cooked them on the grill in tin foil.
