Backyard Campout

The kids have been begging to camp in the tent.  We thought we might do it when the cousins were visiting last month, but it didn't work out.  Then we thought we would do it a couple of weekends ago and we got too busy.  So, we finally set a date and made it happen.  The kids had a lot of fun.  Kate took forever to fall asleep- in fact if she hadn't been crawling all over me, I would have been out long before her!  Dad had a campfire with the 3 big ones- while Kate was supposed to be sleeping, but was crawling all over me in the tent.  Kate woke up at 4:15 and started to get playful, so I ended up taking her to be bed and I went to mine.  Needless to say, Kenneth was not pleased when he woke up in the morning and realized I was no longer in the tent.  He didn't so much want to sleep out there himself!  Ah the memories!  The kids will look back with fondness on it and that makes it all worth it, right?!


Setting up the tent



I love little Kate peeking in the tent!

Now Arianna wants to see what's in there, too!

Everyone wants to push a stake in!

These kids have the best Dad ever!!!  We love you, Daddy!
