Backyard Camping


As summer winds down, we have been doing some fun activities closer to home. Ben and Jack decided on the spur of the moment to camp in our backyard. Jack was very excited about sleeping outside. They cooked their food on the camping stove, made smores, read their books by a camping lantern.... the whole deal. Our house is in a great location for things like this- they really felt like they were in the woods but they were close enough for Jack to run inside to get his forgotten cuddle toy. Once I put Rory to bed I snuck out onto the back deck to eavesdrop on them talking in the tent. It was very cute. Jack was quite concerned about whether or not coyotes could open zippers.
