01-11 Making Fire


It was another beautiful day here in Central Texas.  High of 77.  What did we do?  Built a fire!  We climbed over the fence in our backyard to find sticks, twigs, and bark.  "Someone needs to fill the bark bag." said Michaela.  Once we had all our goodies we went back over the fence (climbing up and down ladders) and began stacking what we needed for the fire.  Just kindling, sticks, and twigs.  NO paper. NO matches.  We only used a spark stick to get the fire started. It took several tries but eventually we had fire.  Did I mention it was 77 degrees?  We kept it small and only let it burn long enough for Mic and Gabe to burn a few small marshmallows.  Yes. I said burn. There was no roasting to it.  See what you get to do when you homeschool?
