Fish fry / Bonfire

This past weekend the 2nd annual Chapel Hill Fish fry went off without a hitch. Folks from far and wide came to celebrate my birthday and shower me with gifts. Or maybe people came because we were offering up free food. Whatever the case may be, I had a great time mingling with some folks I don't get to see a whole lot. There is too many thank yous to get in this post but thanks to everyone for showing up and pitching in.

After stuffing our faces and a brief volleyball game it was time for sitting 'round and attempting a bon fire. I like this picture because it looks like none of the Provences wanted their faces to be seen.

Well here we go, it didn't take long to get the fire going. The bottom of a playhouse, some sticks the girls picked up around the yard, and 1 doghouse makes a mean fire. The circle of chairs quickly backed up after the doghouse made it to the fire. After a few small brush fires were put out around the yard, everyone settled down around a pretty nice fire.

Julie + "campfire" = Smores. As you can see, you have to get pretty inovative to roasting around a fire so hot. This is Julie holding a rake with marshmellow skewers stuck in it's prongs.
