{A Monday Night}

After dinner last night Ryan stoked up a fire in the backyard...


 As he worked the kids played together and I chatted him up about our next family adventure.



 Marshmallows were toasted...






As the fire died down the kids each told a Gopher & Earthworm story.

* Gopher & Earthworm are characters Ryan made up.  From what I've gathered Gopher is a cheeky little guy who is always getting himself and his more innocent sidekick, Earthworm, into trouble. Once the kids are all tucked up in bed Ry will often tell them of a Gopher & Earthworm adventure. It's always a huge hit.  
 It's amusing to hear the kids come up with their own crazy antics about these two characters.  
It's even more entertaining to hear Reed & Fiona mimic the voices Ryan has given them.




I love to travel and awaken my mind and senses to new experiences.
But it's the experiences on a mundane Monday night, in my comfort zone, that feed my soul.

Great post, baby! It was such a nice evening - we need to make a point of having backyard fires more often. There really is nothing like a fire to bring everyone together and foster a sense of closeness. Good times. Plus, a little helping of gopher and earthworm never hurt ;)

(quick note: Gopher's the responsible one; whereas, Earthworm is a bit of a cheeky mess)
