How to Make a Perfect S’more (and a Wild Four-Year-Old)
S’mores are taken seriously in our house…even while on vacation.
Because…well, c’mon, it’s a little bit of perfection.
It’s fun, slightly dangerous (hello, fire!) and it is dessert. *ding ding ding* We have a winner!
Of course, the process must be respected so that the product is flawless; and who better to show you than my wild four-year old?
I planned on sitting by the pool with the Mister but the boys had fire-y marshmallows and long spears so I decided to take a few pictures and keep the small guy from hurting anyone.
And because it *was* Father’s Day weekend, here is what the Mister was up to during all the fun…
I’m always amazed our family doesn’t get stared at more by other people, but then again I don’t make eye contact.
Maybe my logic is faulty, but in my mind, we are golden.
Here is what I captured on my camera. Hope you enjoy!

This is both a science and an art, people.
The boys have it down.
-
Nothing short of perfection is acceptible...
...when it comes to the Marshmallow Gooey Factor (tm).

This?
Not gonna happen.

Happy happy.
Joy joy.

Goldilocks-approved level of not too hard, not too soft.
Juuuuuuust right.
-
Hm. Aromas of cocoa and marshmallow are immediately accessible to the palate.
Closely followed by noticeable sense of graham crackers.

HA HA!
Ssssshhhhh. Don't tell the others!
-
Ruh roh.
Trouble spotted.
-
C'mon.
Do your brother a solid.
-
Foiled!
Clever little brother knows how to mark his s'more territory.

Kickin' it poolside at the Westin.
S'more comas.

S'mores.
The yum.
A big thanks to Westin Hotels
And from the 8yr old- He wants you to know that at the Westin Savannah Resort, the cabana ladies give out extra chocolate bars if you are really, really well mannered. :)

Too cute! And what a gorgeous poolside location!
Oh! S’mores by the pool. That sounds like paradise to me. What a great way to end the day, and a big treat for the kids. My kid? She would be in heaven.
Cuties! Me thinks all 4 year old are wild. And 2 year olds, and 3 year olds….
S’mores for the win!
Last weekend we introduced s’mores to my four year old. She had no patience! Apparently, raw marshmallows is where it’s at.
Yummm, we all love a good s’more. I love that Westin has them on hand :)
I love that you were able to make s’mores on your vacation. Sounds like so much fun!
Gluten free graham cracker are a must pack for camp. Now it look like they go on the vacation packing lit, too. So fun!
It’s all about the eye contact. Mmm gluten-free s’mores.
I love the definition of a good marshmallow toasting. I actually adore them burnt, but don’t tell him. :)
