The stars were out and the air was cool, for some really chilly!  The campfire was nice and warm and the smores were GREAT!!  

The evening started at dusk.  Everything was ready for a wonderful time.  Friends and family arrived to a warm glowing campfire.  Young and old enjoyed roasting their hot dogs to perfection.  There was the five year old, with supervision, that roasted his hot dog by himself and the 78 year old that hadn't been on a hayride, well lets just say in sometime, she was so excited. Hard to believe, she had never had smores before!!!  Her favorite part of the cookout!!!

The hot dogs were delicious and juicy.  As far as I'm concerned anything cooked on a open flame can't be bad.  Then the best part!!!  SMORES!!  The kids really liked this part of the cookout too!  They had to muscle their way pasted the 78 year old to get to the fire!! LOL  ;0

Time for the hayride!!   We had some really fun adults that stayed behind or so we thought.  As we were making our way through the trees, SCREAMS!!!  The ones that stayed behind jumped out and gave us all a fright!  It was GREAT!!  We continued on and had a wonderful time singing songs, laughing and watching falling stars!!  I can't remember seeing so many falling stars in one evening. 

We made if safely back to the campfire and started telling stories.   It was so much fun.    Almost everyone had a story to tell.  We had a blast laughing with each other and at each other!! 

It was sad to see the evening end.  I hope that we will be able to enjoy hayrides with many others over the years.
