Suburban Camping

Last night Mike had the brilliant idea to camp out in our backyard with the girls (until they fell asleep). He had talked about it before, so they finally tried it last night. Mike broke out the tent (for the first time) that we registered for and received as a wedding gift almost 8 years ago. My Uncle Ken joked at the time that they could have given us the tent that they received for their wedding and never used. Mike had a bit of difficulty assembling the tent since he didn't read the directions all the way through before he started (surprise, surprise...). After some advice from me and after examining the diagram again, he finally got the tent set up correctly.

When we registered for the two person tent, we weren't exactly thinking about the future! They were pretty cozy in there!

Ready for bed!

Mike read a few books and told the girls a story before they all konked out.

He finally brought them in at 9:30 and put them to bed in their own rooms. It rained last night, so it was a good thing that they didn't stay out there all night. Some day... The girls absolutely loved their first "camping" experience!!
