Do you ever find yourself in a moment where you want to just be silly? Campfires lend themselves to silliness. You can have a group of people sitting around the campfire or just two people and the silliness tends to find its way in. I have sat at too many campfires to count and had some very deep heart to heart discussions, but I've also shared in the crazy, silly, belly laughing fun.
From the time I was a little girl until now, I have silly campfire memories. On our family vacation each year my mom and her friends would get up and sing the song, "Peanut Butter and Jelly." It left everyone in stitches. Jokes are another common silly campfire topic. It lightens the mood and brings out the people you had no idea were comedians.
On our last camping trip we sat around the fire quiet and contemplative. Of course I couldn't let that last. I asked everyone to make a silly face as I snapped a photo. We shared a few laughs over the photos and then I shared with everyone that I would be posting it to my blog. That brought even more laughs and then I told them I was serious. Shocked faces all around (except for Christopher who knew that I absolutely would share it with all of you). Here are our silly campfire faces.

| Me - "That had onions!" |
 |
| Christopher - "I'm still hungry." |
 |
| Yvonne - "I think I heard lions and tigers and bears... oh my." |
 |
| Cat - "Watch me roll my tongue. Oops, not quite." |
 |
| Me and Biscuit - "Mommy, please stop embarrassing me." |
What fun campfire things do you do? Do you sing songs, tell stories, make jokes, or sit quietly? I'd love to hear all about your campfire adventures. And the next time you are sitting around a campfire, be sure to pull out your camera and catch the silliness.
Hugs,
Jenni
