Day #195 - Firestarter...

Michael has become somewhat enthralled with "The Dangerous Book for Boys" and wanted to try some of what he was learning. He felt ever so cool when he was able to start a fire with a magnifying glass... just like the book said he could! ;)

In about a minute or so, we had smoke...

Added more fuel with a dry leaf and it was really smoking!

There's a reason that book has the word "Dangerous" in the title!

I remember doing this as a kid. We were regular pyromaniacs.
