Camping in the backyard



Mike has wanted to camp in the backyard with Derek all summer. It finally was warm enough to do it. We set up the tent in the afternoon and all 3 kiddos had a blast running around in circle in the tent and yelling. After Will and Nate were in bed, we had a fire and roasted marshmallows. Derek loved the smores. Later it was time for bed. I did not plan well and we all went to the tent too early. I was just going to hang out withe them for a bit and come inside to be near the littles. Well- with all sugar coursing through his system and the excitement of a sleeping bag, Derek was wide awake. We all ended up sleeping inside. We will try attempt #2 later this month.

Love all the new updates! Still looks like it was lots of fun to camp in the yard sort of. Is that broom in front of you guys (or whatever it is) the do-not-cross safety line for the fire?
