We had plans to go camping last weekend. Actual camping. As in, we leave the comforts of home, drive some distance away, and go sleep out in nature.
Fortunately We've had a bit of sickness passing through the family-- nothing to major, but enough to kibosh the planned campout. We decided not to do
real camping, but instead to revisit our much beloved tradition of BACKYARD CAMPING.
And I LOVE backyard camping. I've discussed the reasons in previous posts and won't rehash it now, but the top two reasons-- safety and ease. There you have it. I'm a lazy scardy cat.
Our friend Jake joined us for a bit.
Trampoline sleeping bag wrestling. See? Safety first!
Listening to kids tell "scary" stories around a campfire is hilarious. Especially when a younger kids tries to retell a story they've heard and older sibling tell. My favorite is Peter completely cracking up over the phrase "Bloody Fingers!"
The kids slept great and Abe and I pulled the boy's mattresses out to the tent... so we slept great too!
Long live backyard camping!
