As promised we bought some marshmallows (an all over town search for the right ones, meaning not lemon, strawberry or other flavors), made PB & J sandwiches, cut up some carrots, got our drinks together and headed to the roof. It took a few trips of taking stools, food, the stroller, etc. up the ladder to the top. Then we had to do the kid hand-off. Let's let the pics speak...
The hole/cover leading to the roof. Those are the top rungs of the 'ladder'. No stairs.
Even Sophia needed to be handed through, she is a good climber, but these rungs are a little far apart and took some stretching. We didn't want to take chances.
The view before dusk settled in.

These new buildings are in the center of the city. They are the tallest buildings in town.
Supposedly a KFC is coming below them.
This girl and her hair.
the rooftop is no place for small children, with water pipes, huge solar panels, barrels of water, and most importantly electrical wires encompassing us, it is a danger zone. But we did it anyway, the girls listened well, we had a great time!
dinner first, dessert after.
Building going on all around us.
David put our fire in a metal bowl, and the roasting began. Bella was not willing to try a roasted marshmallow, but she ate some plain ones. All the rest of us had our fair share. yum!
Tobin watched contently and even saw an airplane come in...
Roasting the last round as the fire dies down.
This is a pagoda with a Buddhist temple in it.

Daddy teaches them to make sure the fire is out!
And Tobin smiles. Always. Sweet boy.
An awesome evening of relaxed fun and bellies full of sweet burnt marshmallows!
