How To Roast a Peep

It started out as an ordinary wiener roast. Thing is, with this crew, there is no such thing as ordinary. There's not an ordinary ounce of flesh among us. But hey, it was fun! Uncle Funandone and the kids jumped on the trampoline.


Then we started the hotdogs. The fire had been going for a while. JMatt had been duly warned by Uncle Kearsdad to stay away from the fire. DO NOT play in the fire. There was something about that statement that just was not clear. I am not sure which part wasn't clear. But something definitely wasn't clear. See, JMatt stayed uncomfortably close to the fire the whole time.

The hotdogs were good, unless you drag yours through the ashes and have to go wash it off with the water hose. Kat had trouble with that part.

We learned that Lou Lou and Banana can have a conversation without talking to each other. They demonstrated this fine art for us. Here they are talking to each other without talking. We do not know what they said. But they can apparently understand each other even when no one else can.


JMatt also invented a new Olympic Sport. It's call the Marshmallow Toss. He invented it while trying to talk with his hands and hold his marshmallow roasting implement at the same time. The marshmallow flew off, landing securely in the petunia tree. Here is the marshmallow lodged in the petunia tree.

We never actually knew we had a petunia tree. But Lou Lou told us it was a petunia tree, so I guess that is what it is. We don't know how long the marshmallow will stay in the petunia tree, but it's pretty high up and securely lodged.

Here are Aunt Junebug and Kat just because they are so cute.


Then came the real fun-no all of it was real fun-but then we started the peep roasting. I think Junebug felt a little sorry for the peep. Roasting, however, is the only thing Kearsdad likes to do with peeps.
