Camp Fire's Burning
















Camp fire's burning
Camp fire's burning
Draw nearer,
Draw nearer,

In the glowing,
In the glowing,
Come sing and be merry
Come sing and be merry

Camping is one of my fond childhood memories. Growing up we had a group of family friends we called 'the coffee group'. This group of 8 or so families all lived in the same housing area when we were little, the mums gathered for coffee while the kids played. One of the favorite gatherings was a yearly group camping trip together involving soccer, scavenger hunts, shared meals, campfire sing-a-longs, games and lots of fun. Our evening at Kerry's house reminded me of these memories. It was great to see the kids, who have such comfort with these families, play and have fun outside. To sing the same songs as a group that I sang. I hope it becomes a tradition.
