Our three-year-old loves s\u2019mores. It\u2019s her favorite part of any camping trip and, to be honest, it\u2019s probably my favorite part, too. This past weekend, in lieu of trekking out into the wilderness and spending an hour trying to get the campfire lit, I whipped up this recipe for watermelon s\u2019mores. (That\u2019s them on the right.)<\/p>\n

To bring the experience home even more, I pitched the camping tent in our living room and built a pretend fire next to the coffee table. No TV, no smartphones, no laptops. Just a little living room camping with watermelon s\u2019mores and silly, scary campfire stories. By the time it was over, it was the most fun we\u2019d had in a long time. And, yes, she slept in the tent that night and was none too happy when we had to take it down the following afternoon.<\/p>\n

WATERMELON S\u2019MORES<\/h3>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/p>\n

1 cup graham cracker crumbs<\/p>\n
