<\/a>Kevin proved to be quite the fire master.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The kids cook s’mores around the fire (although Luke and Lillian tried their best to scarf down all the chocolate while we weren’t looking).<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>On our last day there, we decided to do a little tie-dyeing, stripping the kids down to their skivvies in an attempt to at least try to keep things clean. (Not very hippie-ish.)<\/p><\/div>\n
