Fogata


Yesterday was a really fun day.  We found out that Olivia (a girl visiting from Ohio) was celebrating her 23rd birthday.  My dad who loves cake and ice cream asked what kind of cake she would like to have for her birthday.  She said she likes ice cream cake, so when we were in town after visiting some friends in Los Pinos, we stopped by Baskin Robins to buy the ice cream cake.  None of the kids knew that we were going to buy a cake, so that was a good surprise.  Everyone loved the cake. While the kids were eating birthday cake, my dad was starting a bond fire or fogata so the kids could roast marshmallows.  Everyone loved sharing with Haley.  She had her own piece of cake plus part of a couple other girls cakes.  Then the girls all roasted marshmellows and helped Haley eat them.  Needless to say Haley had a full belly and didn't feel so well today.  Having a fire and marshmellows is always a special treat for the kids, and I was so grateful to be a part of it.
