Our first camping trip of the year was at the lake with my parents. This was our second camping "trip"...we finally fulfilled the kids dream & camped in the backyard. They've been begging to do this for quite some time and I have to say it was a lot more fun than I dreamed. We tried to gather everything in one trip & then STAY outside, as if we were away.
Starting with the most important part of any camping trip:
And, while we were camping, we did make use of any amenities that we could, such as a convenient plug on our patio.
Our tent is really neat-very easy to set up & a great design. It has lots and lots of room-something we definitely need!
Never seen them excited to go to bed! Never fear, it didn't last.
It tried really, really hard to rain on us but ended up just sprinkling...we did get to enjoy a rainbow though!
S'mores and swinging
After dark came, we cheated a little & let Ava sleep inside while we started some old movies on the Mac-the kids loved it. I'm thinking camping would have been just that much more fun if my parents had had a Mac way back when!
Sleepy head snuggle time in the morning.
And, we cooked bacon & eggs for breakfast & had a picnic.
It was memorable...
Up next...REAL camping-in the mountains, where it's COLD...and there's bears!
