We love camping. I grew up going camping every summer. Adam and I have now been married 8 years and we've gone camping together a grand total of ONE time. That's practically a crime! We decided that we wanted to go camping this summer with the kids, but going to an actual campground sounded daunting. We compromised and set up camp in my parent's backyard.
We brought oodles of blankets out from inside and made a big bed that Grayson was thrilled about. Then we set to work building a fire for making smores.
My parents have a beautiful backyard, so the setting was picturesque.
Grayson loved the tent and didn't want to leave. He just wanted to lay in the giant bed and cuddle. We did for a long time, and then got out for a few more smores. When it was time to sleep he just couldn't stop talking. It was the first time that he'd slept in the same bed as us, and he couldn't calm down his excitement. He finally stopped talking after midnight, but Makenna (who was sleeping inside the house) was up soon after. I ended up sleeping on the floor in the house because I was getting up so often for M. Adam came in with Grayson who'd started talking again just before 5am. So we were VERY tired, but memories were made and that's what really matters.
