We have this awesome fire pit for our backyard, and we are embarrassed to say that after 3 or so years of owning it, we've only used it once or twice. I think it has to do with our kids' ages (and how busy we seem to be) and how exhausted we are once it's dark enough to light this thing up--but now that our kids are a little bit bigger, we've decided to make birthday s'mores a family tradition. At least for the kids--March 26, May 27, and Nov 22 seem like great times of the year to roast. Dec 17 and Feb 27? We'll have to see about that...
We had a few wet wood issues, but after we got it going, we realized that THIS WAS THE STUFF. The stuff that makes life fun. Meaningful time together. Stars, crackles, marshmallows. And the chatter that comes with it. We may get good use out of this thing yet!
