Eric has been wanting to do a backyard campout with the kids for a couple of years now, so when I saw a tent on sale at Aldi the other day, I brought it home so we could make it happen. The kids were beyond excited and they spent the bulk of the day setting things up and playing in the tent. Miles watched over the tent diligently while they played. It was a super hot day - much too hot to want to sit around a campfire, so we decided to just do hotdogs and s'mores on the grill. The kids had a blast and were happy when it was finally time to hunker down for the night in their sleeping bags. Eric said they slept really well and everyone made it through until morning. They want to do it again, so we'll try to tackle it yet this summer. Perhaps by next summer, we'll be ready for a bigger camping trip!
