Birthday S'mores

Michael and I took an overnight mini vacation to our family cabin.
We were celebrating our birthdays (mine was on Wednesday and Michael's was on Friday), 
since we were working way too much to celebrate on our real birthdays.

Michael decided to make a mini fire and roast marshmallows and make s'mores!
They were so good!
Nothing like a fire roasted marshmallow and chocolate on a graham cracker.

 

Add a beautiful sunset over the lake and gorgeous weather,
and we had a great evening.

I found an interesting fact about s'mores. 

 "While the origin of the dessert is unclear, the first recorded version of the recipe can be found in the publication "Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts" of 1927. The recipe is credited to Loretta Scott Crew, who reportedly made them by the campfire for the Scouts. It is unknown whether the Girl Scouts were the first to make s'mores, but there appears to be no earlier claim to this snack. Although it is unknown when the name was shortened, recipes for "Some Mores" are in various Girl Scout publications until at least 1973.

I knew I liked my name for a reason!
