Chili Cook-off and Bonfire

Last weekend Olympia had the annual chili cook off and bonfire. It as a petty good time. Food was great and the kids seemed to enjoy themselves. The night before we went trick or treating and the kids were exhausted for most of the day. Plus they had an awesome play date with their new friend Micah. 

We headed over around 6pm and had some yummy chili and sides :-) There was a table for kids food and filled with chicken strips, fries, and pizza... Ummm can I eat at that table please? 




Kids made it until 7:15 when they asked... Yes, that's right, they ASKED to go to bed! What, my kids.... So as much as I would have liked them to stay up for the fire I was not going to stand in their way :-) Like I said they had a busy day and really were exhausted. They were out within minutes of hitting the pillow. It was funny because the night before they were falling asleep in the tub before bed. Maybe they should have not given up that nap! Haha!

I went back over to the fire and had some much needed adult time with some of the women that I have met. Wish Will could have been here. He would have enjoyed it and probably would have brought him back to his A&M days and the Aggie Bonfire. 





In hindsight, it is probably best that the kids decided it was bed time because it would have not been easy to wrangle three kids by myself with this monster fire! It was raining and the wind was making the embers fly everywhere as well.
