Camp out

In the backyard, to be exact.

We had intentions of doing this at the beginning of summer. But with all the things we have been busy with we just FINALLY got around to it.

Tent, check.
Blankets and pillows, check.
Lantern, check.
Sm ore's, check.

Ready.
Set.
Off to the backyard we go.

Now it's time to come down from the sugar high and all the excitement of sleeping in the backyard for a few "scary" bedtime stories.

First story was told by dad. Then it was my turn. I was banned from telling another story because it was "6 year old scary, not 5 year old scary" according to Aubrey.

The night through the eyes of Jake:

(I think he may have a future in photography.)

I don't care what the box says, a 4 person tent is NOT made for 4 people! Jake and I were having trouble sleeping with a sprawled out bed hog (Aubrey). At about 2:30 am we headed indoors to get some much needed sleep. Ahhhhhh, Tempurpedic.

We finished up our backyard camp out with bacon and eggs for breakfast.

This will most definitely be a family tradition, with a bigger tent of course!
