Roasting marshmallows over a campfire, then placing the blackened goo on a piece of chocolate between two graham crackers; the hot marshmallow melting the chocolate … the iconic image of camping with kids. We couldn’t wait to make them with Rebekah, our 5-year old granddaughter on her first ever overnight camping trip. She assured us she loves s’mores … well, except for the marshmallows … maybe hold the graham crackers …. o.k. … just give her the damn chocolate!

- The ranger gave a lecture on owls, then made s’mores with gummy worms (in honor of the owls). Bekah ate the worms and chocolate.
