Camfires and S'Mores

Two weeks of summer camping we spent Helping mom and dad pitch the tent Sweet memories of campfires and s'mores Enjoying time in the great outdoors Walking the trails on nature hikes Around the campground riding our bikes Sing alongs around the campfire Hot cocoa and a kiss before we retire Giggling 'cause we couldn't sleep Telling each other secrets to keep Rising to the smell of pancakes on the griddle Searching for the right stick to whittle Hunting the woods for little treasures Pinecones,leaves and a couple of bird feathers Go to the beach water splashing Smiles for the camera we were flashing Packing the car time to head home Didn't want to leave we all groan But we have memories of campfires and s'mores Enjoying time in the great outdoors - C.A.Saputo xoxo Some of my fondest memories as a child were the two weeks we spent camping every summer! :)

I read this remembering the times I went camping and you hit on something really special! What is it about pancakes for breakfast when camping that just sets the day aglow? :-) A very nice memory retriever!!!

Yes that was one of my favorite things. Waking up to my dad making pancakes on the cast iron pan directly on the fire. I can smell them now! Yum!! Glad I could bring back a memory for you! Have a Blessed evening Walter! :)
