S'mores Story

There are certain things that are just better in America, marshmallows are one of those things we recently discovered on our camping trip through Scotland. Mike had brought home jumbo marshmallows from his visit to America in June. We were saving them for our special trip and wouldn't you know it, we forgot them! We were lucky that I had thrown in an extra emergency stash of marshmallows in the camping gear just in case we ran out of the big ones. So that emergency stash was our only stash, until we went to a local store in Scotland and bought some marshmallows. We learned really fast that marshmallows here in the UK--are horrible!! They melt to this weird liquid consistency and don't puff up at all, they get barely brown before falling off the roasting stick..and the taste, not yummy!
We decided that we would have a post camping trip s'more night once we got home. Boy oh boy!!! Those jumbo marshmallows are a whole new experience for s'mores. It was hilarious watching the kids try and eat this mass amount of marshmallow in their mouths. Brennan was by far the messiest, which was surprising with Mason in this family.
