Before kids, Mike and I would go camping every chance we got. The last time we went camping, I was pregnant with Colden.
What's kept us from camping since we had kids?!? The following scenario: Driving some distance to go camping, just to have a 3-year-old crying because he is scared of the noises or the darkness and an 8-month-old crying because, well, she's 8 months old. We have now woken up the entire campsite at 2am and have to drive home.
Before venturing out too deep into the wilderness, we decided to test the waters by going camping a little closer to home...in our backyard!
It's s'mores time!!
(Colden's favorite part of camping)
We were a little nervous to see how Colden would react once it got dark outside. Luckily, it was a clear night and the moon served as the perfect nightlight.
We got cozy in the tent...
Read books...
And both kids were out. AND, more importantly - both kids slept through the night!
AND - everyone woke up happy!
Success!
Now...where to go camping next...
