The Great Camp Out

In the back yard of course!

The Little Mr.'s have been pleading their case for summer camping and we thought it wise to have a test run in the back yard. So out they went last night.

We had all the important questions to answer like, "which way do you get into the sleeping bag? Do I put my head in first or my feet?" "Does the dog really sleep in the tent too?" "What if I have to go potty and it's dark?"

Obviously it's been a while since the tent has been out of it's bag.

Over all, it went very smoothly. We learned that The Littlest Mr. is a natural. He climbed right in, laid down and went straight to sleep. Not a single peep until the early morning potty run. The dog was not convinced about the whole thing and ended up in the house with me and Little Miss around 11:30. Then there is The Little Mr. He has issues. He was in and out of the house and tent quite a bit before settling in, but for who he is, he did great.

I guess what it means is that there may be some camping trips in my summer after all. It's been a long time since I've gone and I'm not sure how much I relish the idea of ground sleeping. It's a whole lot easier to do when you're younger and have less kids and dogs. Oh well. I'm sure we'll give it a spin and do our best to make the best of it.
