So Court and I have been wanting to take the kids camping. But we aren't that daring of parents to just head up the canyon. So we decided we would do a trial run. So during Memorial Day weekend we set up the tent in Court's parents backyard. Some would say it is close to real camping. Just over the fence there are horses, cows and a view of the mountains.
Here are the kiddos. Just out of church ready to start the camping fun.
Izzy got a new sleeping bag. Toy Story of course. It works really well for overnighters at grandma and grandpas too. After some yummy dinner it was on to smores.
Ean went to town. He was covered by the time it was done. But he loves them.
Izzy not so much. She ate just the chocolate because the rest was "messy". However, she did get her fair share of sugar as I found her eating the chocolate and marshmallows out of the bag.
After smores and a campfire. We tried to put the kids to bed. With little luck. Ean wasn't going to have any of the sleeping in tent nonsense. For the first hour we played musical sleeping bags. Then after an hour Ean just started yelling. Shortly after Grandpa came out and saved it. Once he was laid in the crib inside he was out like a light. Izzy fared much better.
The next morning, after a yummy breakfast of pancakes on the camping stove, the kids all got to go for a ride on the john deere lawnmower. One of their favorite past times.
That was our only camping trip for this year. Hopefully next year we will actually get out of the city and go camping.
