A Camping Adventure . . . In The Backyard

Ryan & Alex have been wanting to go camping all summer long and we just have not been able to go yet, so Shawn set up the tent in the backyard. We sat in our "camping chairs", roasted marshmallows around the fire-pit, and they slept outside in the tent. Nick was fascinated by the tent and kept running around inside it. By the time we drug him back inside the house, he was filthy and looked as if he really had been camping because he was covered in melted marshmallow & dirt. Ryan & Alex stayed up late shining their flashlights around and talking and laughing. I thought they would end up back inside the house, but they slept outside all night. I think they had a lot of fun.
