Bonfire

I have a semi-regular tradition with a friend where we have a bonfire in his backyard with his accumulated yard waste for the year. The crowning piece of the pile is the year's Christmas tree, which of course makes the bonfire quite spectacular. The last time we did this was 2 years ago and Noah was a little scared when he saw the fire.

We did it again last night. I took the kids out to Clayton for the festivities. Noah was excited because he got to use his headlamp. This year's pile had 2 Christmas trees and probably 30' of garland on it too. I'd guess that we got flames a good 12' in the air this time.

When asked what he thought of the fire Noah said, "Yeah...cool." High praise indeed from the Pook. We got some milkshakes on the way home to cap off the whole experience.
