After thawing out the next morning,

we decided that there was no way we would survive another night and we went home early.

 

BUT, we had all the makings for s'mores.

And the craving for that yummy, gooey, goodness was still strong.

 

So we decided to make "indoor" s'mores.

 

Now, whenever we can't go outside to have a fire (winter, kids, laziness...),

we could still have a good treat.
