Backyard camping

This never sounds fun to me, but for some reason I was up for it one night. We got the tent set up around 8:30, roasted s'mores and got to bed super late, like after 11 (late for the kids when they didn't take a nap). When we set up the tent the kids were SOOOO excited, especially Addysin. She has been asking to camp for months.



Jessica and Ashley came to roast mallows with us before bed.

As expected, the air mattress KILLED my back. I woke up every hour for the 5 hours I was out there. I even moved Addysin onto my bed so I could have her mat. That didn't help. Sometime during the night the milk truck came to take the milk, which is a semi! We were like 20 feet from the driveway, by the way. Plus, let me remind you that we are surrounded by cows. Random "moos" during the night woke me. At 4:00 I realized I could go inside the room thats by the yard, leave the window open so I could still hear them, and hopefully get some sleep. Then at 6:00 my brother was out feeding the calves and beating some metals buckets against each other (which by that time, it is BRIGHT outside). I was so close to yelling at him. Have some respect for the campers! The kids woke up early, of course, so they were grouchy that day. Overall, it was a great ONE TIME memory. Chris slept good so he can camp with them from now on :)
