"Camping"

I've been trying to find a weekend when we could go camping as a family and have not found one yet, so we decided to just "camp" at home. So, the tent went up and we kept wondering why we hadn't thought of it before. We couldn't keep Kate and AJ out of there, they loved it. We read books, played games, and even slept, most of the night, there. Mike bailed at midnight, and at 2am when I was running out of covers to keep us all warm, we took the kids inside and finished the rest of our night in bed. They never woke up, thank goodness. We ate all our meals at the picnic table and made S'mores for dessert the next night. Kate and AJ were not too sure about them at first, but when they realized it was pure sugar, they gobbled them up. Enjoy the pics!

What fun! We almost did exact thing that last weekend, but then we all had allergy attacks and decided it was safer indoors! Maybe another time!
