making fire

it's sportlov now in sweden, which means they have a week off and whole of sweden leaves for a ski trip. we decided to stay home and booked a trip to the sun in april, which I am looking forward to very much. it's still rather cold here. we had a nice walk yesterday in norra djurgarden near stora skuggan. in sweden you can make fires in nature everywhere. the boys decided to make one and it was quite a challenge, with wet wood and no matches..but they managed and I enjoyed looking at my boys getting fascinated with this fire making..boys will be boys.
