Our Memorial Day Camp Out

We decided to have our first camp out in our back yard.  We did it Sunday night because Fri and Sat night were very cold.  The kids were over the top excited.  We had to wait on Sunday for Daddy to mow the spot for the tent.  The kids were anxiously watching out the window for him to be done.  We set it up about 1:30 in the afternoon, and they were ready to get in in their sleeping bags!

 Daddy bringing up some cardboard boxes to get the fire started.

 They had fun roasting hot dogs and eating hot dogs and french fries for dinner.

 And smores for dessert!!

 Paul loves to stir the fire.

 And they both had fun singing with Daddy.  Then Paul told a spooky story and Shawn scared him and he screamed and we all laughed.

It was a job to get them settled down to sleep, but we all slept in the tent all night!  It was a really fun time.  (Although I don't need to sleep on the ground again any time soon.)
