Weekend Fun



We went to visit Mimi and Pawpaw at their campsite a few weeks ago and since then our kids talk about camping all of the time.  Bobby used sheets and turned all of their beds into "tents" last weekend.  They played "camping" for days.  They pretended to sleep in their tents and make smores.  They loved it!  When we said bedtime prayers this week, Noah said that he wanted to thank God for roasted marshmellows and Nathan said graham crackers.  So, Bobby decided to take it a step further this weekend and we had a campout in the real tent in the living room.  They were so excited about it.  They brought all of their stuffed animals and blankets down at about 2:00 that day before Bobby got home so they would be ready!  We even made smores (in the microwave)!  We decided to let them sleep in the tent with out us but Bobby slept on the couch in case anyone woke up.  We left the tent up all weekend for them to play and they had a blast.  Hopefully, we are taking a real camping trip in the tent this October so I guess we will have a few trial runs before that.

Yummy, messy smores!
