Last weekend, we had our first backyard campout. We started by putting up the tent and having dinner over the campfire. I am a fairly capable cook, but opted for an easy meal of hot dogs and beans. The kids got a kick out of our rustic dinner. They also loved playing in the tent, which was filled up with sleeping bags and pillows. The cats also enjoyed having us out in the yard and headed straight to the tent for some napping. We ate dinner and had s'mores and then the kids ran around the yard as night fell and the bats began to swoop across the yard. We settled into the tent for a late bedtime.

We had a beautiful fire! |
Darren & the kiddos made it through the night! We kept a small hole open in the tent for the cats to come visit. They thought that camping was awesome and were in & out all night. I was up early and started the fire so that I could make breakfast. We had pancakes, bacon, eggs and toast. The kids had a great time, though it was definitely a bit of work for Mom & Dad!
