Bonfire Party 
Nov. 22, 2008

  Kirch helping with stick duty. 

Jay learning the strength and frustration of Osage Orange. 

Gretchen being a good dog around the little ones. 

Mrs. Kirch giving us her Mush-Mouth impression in her freshly dry-cleaned coat - silly girl. 

The original intention was to keep the fire kind of mellow for fear of being busted having a fire after dark.

Ooops! I was actually on the opposite side of the garage when this happened. Somehow I noticed the glow on either side of the garage, went around and found this.

It was hot enough to burn me through my jeans. 


Some people pay attention and some people don't. 

We rented some heaters for the garage where the food was. They actually made a difference. 

Some people (Jay, Aileen, Jen & Ben) decided to sleep out. Though I didn't want to, I was made to try.

Around 3am I decided I had enough and went inside. I wasn't cold, just annoyed. It was nice to wash my hands, brush my teeth and pass out in my own warm bed. Too bad Jen's alarms (clock and phone) went off at 5:30am.
 

The aftermath. 

We still had sticks to burn.

The bigger the ash pile got, the more creative we got with our fire ring.
