Oceanside Trip Blog (Series, Day 5)

Today we stayed at the house. We just sat around and talked. I am not even sure what we talked about, but it was nice to just talk about normal things. It’s nice to just feel like a normal family. The thing is, everyone tries to hide their insecurities about all the things that are going on. It’s nice to just talk to someone and get the real story straight from them.
We had an amazing Mediterranean meal. Once again, it was Eli cooking. Wish it could have been me. I am not even sure what we had, but it was good!
After dinner, we had s’mores roasted over the fire. The kids roasted their own marshmallows. One was on fire and fell off because it melted too much… one of the inevitable downfalls of roasting marshmallows! My thinking is to not put the marshmallow into direct heat. Let the fire, or heat, come to the marshmallow unless you like the charred taste. Then you put it in the fire, and let it burn, but not too much.
My significant other wasn’t feeling well and went to bed early. I stayed outside with Eli and the kids for a little while. They weren’t out there too long. They still go to bed early. After the kids went to bed, Eli and I stayed up until the fire burned out.
Money can’t buy happiness - but it can buy marshmallows!
