Close to the top of classic simple summer pleasures is making s'mores. This night was made even better by a friendly little wager. Their Dad off-handedly said he'd offer a reward for whomever could light the fire pit without use of fuel, match, etc. Here's a helpful tip for you, dear readers. Do not make wagers like this with homeschooled kids. You may discover that your teen daughter got a flint set from her big brother as part of her birthday package one year (along with other resourceful items like pink hair dye and a small video camera for her dog to wear around his neck.) Girlfriend sure enough DID find her flint and in short order had a nice little campfire going.
Oh yes she did.
Bam.

Ah, the rewards of homeschooling… and that last photo is the most telling of all.
Yum! I want to know what the reward was. đ
Dang girl! Enjoy weather where you can light even a flint without worry!! Looks like that’s a fun thing we’ll be waiting for snowfall to enjoy over here in drought stricken land.
Yes, do tell what the reward was!
Your daughter may enjoy this story of a girl and a tree house đ My daughter’s favorite.
