One of the Lane Gang's favorite activities is spending time around a fire pit. It is a wonderful place for our family to spend quality time together, tell stories, and to make memories. If it is a pretty evening, you will usually catch us outside around 8:00 building a fire and eating marshmallows. Even our pets have joined in on the family fun.
We used to have just an old metal crate to build our fires, but since we have moved to the farm, we have used things from around the farm to make it better. We found some rocks and we used them to build up the fire pit, which has worked out nicely.
Then, we wanted a rock/bench for the kids to sit on. Having troubles finding a suitable bench, my awesome father-in-law found us the perfect one. He found this amazing rock behind his machine shed. He just threw it over his shoulders and carried to our home. Just kidding, this rock probably weighs 2000 pounds. He had to use an excavator to get this rock dug out and brought to our fire pit.
I have to admit that our little fire pit area is one of my favorite places on earth. Beautiful views, spending time with family and friends, eating roasted marshmallows...it can not possibly get better than this.
