roughing it!

we took our first camping trip with all four kiddos. roughing it . . . two nights, tent, peeing in the woods, no showers for a couple days . . . roughing it! the kids were really in heaven. they loved fishing, exploring, eating junk, eating outside, looking at the trees, exploring, climbing on fallen trees, taking walks, eating s'mores, and of course, peeing in the woods! :) the kids were so dirty by the time we left . . . so dirty, but so happy. they are already talking about heading back there again.

a camp "in"!

the girls had a great time setting up their tent and having a camp "in" in the playroom! :) we even had s'mores for dessert! :) b.c. loved climbing in and out of the tent . . . and messing up everything the girls tried to set-up in the tent! :) won't be long till we'll have to set up two tents so there's enough room! :)

backyard camp out

what a way to start our spring break! a backyard camp out! okay, so I am not quite brave enough to do “real” camping with the baby just yet. . . maybe when he’s walking . . . so a backyard camp out was the perfect option! the girls and bailey set up the tent. the kids had so much fun just playing in it! too cute! our bffs joined us to make it even more fun! the kids ran around, played, played flashlight tag, ate tons of junk (hot dogs, mac and cheese, pop rocks, s’mores, chips, hot chocolate . . .), and crashed out in the tent! we sat around and talked for a bit . . . then the moms (b.c. slept inside too!) headed inside to sleep in comfort, while the dads roughed it outside with the kiddos! does it get any better? can’t wait to do it again soon!

camping "out"

we promised the girls we'd sleep in the tent sometime over the break . . . well, the weather just wasn't quite warm enough . . . so instead we set up the tent in the extra bedroom and they had an indoor camp out! :) 3 little girls in a very tiny tent made for a crowded sleeping arrangment, but they loved it! :) they talked and giggled and read stories for a few hours before falling asleep! :) can't wait till we can camp for real! :)
