If you call sleeping in a tent with your 6 and 4 year old in your backyard camping, then we went camping. This is a funny story. Awhile back I took McKay to a fathers-in-son camp out in my Dad's ward. It was great and McKay really enjoyed it. Ever since that camp out, he keeps bringing up that he wants to go camping again with our whole family. So one night as we were all around the table eating dinner McKay brought up that he wanted to go camping again. I thought about it for a minute and looked outside and said, lets go camping! The kids got really excited and I told them that we are going to camp in the backyard. They didn't even care what time it was, they wanted to go get in the tent and camp as soon as possible. I set up the tent, the kids got ready for bed, and we climbed in for some fun stories and to read a couple of books. I know that McKay and Ellie probably stayed up way past me, but eventually I woke up and they were fast asleep,
McKay had the sleeping bag over his head and Ellie was not even in her sleeping bag. It was so fun to be out there with them. In the morning Clara had to come out and enjoy the party as well. I know that my hair is going to be the talk of the town, but you have to get the morning after picture. Ellie is our glamour girl. She had to have the pose. Everyone smile.
It was really cold in the morning, the wind was blowing. The kids were great. We just chilled in the tent for awhile. Thanks to McKay and Ellie for the great
camp out, we will have to do it again and again.
