December Full Moon Campfire and Wiener Roast

Full moon was December 28 so we planned our monthly desert campfire, wiener roast and s'mores! We had a terrific group this month with Christopher and family and our friends Ron & Elaine and their grand son Curtis joing us, Trent and Ann and Craig and Sharon. It was a beautiful day but pretty cool. Made for a great campfire though as we could really pile on the wood to stay warm!

 Hannah and Laila out in the desert. Laila in flip flops because she injured her baby toe running into the couch and her foot is too sore to put her running shoes on. She already has a cactus thorn in her sandal!

 The men decided to go for a short ride and leave the ladies around the fire to have a chat - certainly fine with us! Luke is looking pretty cool in his seat! Cole didn't want to go so he stayed behind with the ladies!

 Christopher is driving with Doug as passenger and Luke saying "get a move on fellows!"

 The fellows disappearing into the desert, Hannah with her head down looking for rocks.

 About an hour later, the guys return safe and sound

 Everyone is smiling so we know they had fun!

 It isn't even dark yet but everyone was hungry so it wasn't long before the hotdogs were roasted!

 Doug sets a great fire so we are nice and cozy

 The fellows thought we were going to have all the fire wood burned before it even got dark

 Everyone was having a great time

 These young people and their phones - can't live without them!

 Christopher decided to take Luke and Hannah for a little ride after dinner before it got dark. He had seen some bird feathers on the ground when they were riding earlier he thought the kids would like
 You would think it was cold the way Christopher is dressed!

 Laila, Cole and Trent

 The sun is finally setting

 Christopher and the kids arrive back just as the sun is setting

 Here comes the moon over the mountain

 Doug got some great pictures as it rose. Quite spectacular



 It is finally full!

Sharon, Luke and Cole as we are cleaning up ready to head in. Grandpa bought the kids head lamps to wear when they were out in the desert and they loved them. It was easy to keep track of them with those lights on. Good thinking Doug! We had a wonderful time, the kids were ready for bed and so were the parents and grand parents!
