Today is Rosy's tenth birthday. As we do for everyone, we had a celebration. The big event started with a campfire. Instead of roasting marshmallows, this time we roasted corn. Katty ate most of her corn long before it got even close to the fire.

The fire was hot and needed to burn down a bit, before the corn could be roasted. Everyone was so excited, they kept running up to the fire and trying to get close enough to hold their stick over it. They soon learned they really needed to wait.

For just a few minutes, rain threatened.

As the corn roasted and was pulled from the fire, Marc was waiting with butter and Tony's.

I roasted one and ate it. It was good. Even Skillet got one. Not planned, but he managed to get one.

After the campfire was out, the children had showers and supper. Then we had birthday cake.

We all sang to Rosy and then each child walked to where Rosy was sitting and gave her a birthday hug.

I am glad I got off work at 8:30. There is going to be some upset stomachs tonight.
