During Labor Day weekend we went to visit the hubb’s sister Maria and her family – 2 hours away in NJ. The girls love seeing their cousin. As apartment dwellers, they always love visiting our friends and family with houses. It’s like an adventure – playing in the backyard, swimming in the pool and experiencing S’mores for the first time!
I had fun exploring their backyard – something new to photograph!
Love these cute owls!
My brother in-law is big into gardening. They grow vegetables each summer. There was an abundance of peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant. Maria made us sausage and peppers for lunch and gave us a big bag of peppers to take home. It’s amazing how vegetables taste so much better when you grow them yourself! I made a few things with these peppers including an Asian stir fry last night. Leftovers for lunch today!!
Even the birds have a cute house!
Before we left, as it started to get dark, it was S’mores time! My girls never had s’mores so it was a fun experience for them. I personally just go for the toasted marshmallow. I love when it gets that perfect caramel brown color. Yum!
I spy an ostrich. Do you see it?
Do you like s’mores?
