Blog #1 Camping Experience

The wind was silent and the fire was crackling, the aroma of marshmallows filled the air as chocolate and graham crackers are passed around.  Laughter echo’s in the woods as jokes and stories are told, memories brought back.  Embarrassing moments brought back, cheeks filling with pink as my cousin’s laugh at my brother.  The moments are appreciated though, since they only last awhile until they are forgotten.  The taste of chocolate melts in my mouth as a take a bite and watch my dad make a s’more for himself.  My uncle chugs a diet coke like its water, the dare he accomplished after barely making it through without burning his throat.  Everyone stares waiting for him to complain, no one could take themselves seriously and we all burst out laughing.  The leaves start to dance as the moon’s light bounces off the ground emitting all the stars real beauty of looks.  Each one making the sky beautiful as everyone admires the sky while the fire engulfs the cooking marshmallows bringing everyone back to the smell of burning marshmallows.  My dad and cousin blow on the marshmallows trying to save the sweets while everyone else laughs at the panicked faces.  As the words are spoken ‘marshmallows are always good no matter what’ my cousin pops it in his mouth then suddenly he stares waving his hand of his mouth as everyone starts to cry of laughter.  The fire slowly burns down and the moon takes over the night, yawns are passed around and eyes start to slowly close.  Water is thrown into the fire and everyone says their good nights as memories are once again captured and kept silent.  The trees stay up all night dancing in the wind while my cousins, Uncle, dad, and brother sleep soundlessly. I slowly close my eyes and drift to sleep.
