There are really only two important components to a backyard camp out. The first being a tent. There is nothing quite like a big tent to put the kids into an absolute frenzy! They were all so hyper running,
rolling,
and roughhousing...
They were even excited to be loving...
We love this girl, but we were ready for our next key component to our camp out so she got sent to bed...
...and we got things roaring! Check out our awesome campfire:
Nothing better during a camp out than roasting marshmallows and making s'mores...
Once we were filled to the brim with marshmallowy, chocolaty, goodness, we headed to bed. We set out our sleeping bags, hunkered down, and watched Daddy create some great shadow puppets. We did some stargazing while snuggled up in our sleeping bags and then all fell fast asleep. I was thinking we were going to last an hour or so, but it was actually Tucker that got us up at 5AM to bring everyone in stating that he was uncomfortable and that the kids were getting cold. I don't know about that, but I was happy to have made it as long as we did. The first thing Capri said when she woke up, "Where's the tent?" Roman cried as we put it down. This will definitely be a tradition and we are actually hoping to do it again before summer's end. Parents-this is a must! The kids are still talking about it and I am sure they will for some time!
