Today we practiced camping! It all started around 4, when Don brought the new tent around and asked Patience and Jordyn if they wanted to help him set up the new tent. So of course both girls were jumping with excitement.
The new tent is large, which is good for a big family, and is not an "easy up." It says that 2 adults are required for setup, and they aren't kidding! I was so proud of Don and myself, though, as we managed to assemble the entire thing without getting in a fight! There is a front screened room and then the sleeping area, which has our new air bed in it.
Here is our new camping "home away from home:"
Storm thinks this is his new dog house.
Nick escapes! I thought the screened room would be a perfect outside playpen!
Nick decides that the grass is a fine playing area after all, even if it does feel a little icky.
The girls enjoy the view from the window.
After getting the tent set up, we had dinner out at the patio table. While I did dishes, Don and the girls built a campfire for marshmallows!
Nick, being all boy, decides he wants to work the stick!
Nick's first marshmallow.
Jordyn's last marshmallow (of the night).
The marshmallow roast necessitated a bath for everyone 5 and under. We were going to sleep in the tent tonight but decided tomorrow would be a better night! : )
