We don't need no water ... !

If you've been following our blog, you may remember a few months ago when we took a stroll through Golden Gardens and saw several people setting up beach bonfires. It looked like fun, even though everyone was wearing big parkas and hats and then bundled up with extra blankets in their laps. Well, the weather turned nice enough that we felt we could brave the cold and have our own little fire.

And what a nice little fire it was! We threw on about 5 logs and had a very nice, respectable fire.... until you looked around and saw other fire pits exploding with flames! Those other fires meant business; they were so big. I wonder how many logs they used because the flames were licking the sides of the bin and were jumping up out of the pit!

Even with the fire going, it was a bit chilly out (30 something) but our skins are toughening up to the Northwest weather and we were mostly okay. We brought along our camp chairs and stopped by The Totem House for some fish and chips and clam chowder so were nice and comfy during our bonfire picnic. Our friends - Seng, Eric and Vo - joined us, and we had a fantastic night of fire and frivolty!
