My kind of camping!

Leevi and I camped quite frequently prior to children and got out once when Hailey was 2.5 (but she doesn't remember). We told her if we had a big enough backyard in Germany we'd have a camp-out one night. Maybe by next summer when Kailee is almost 3 we will venture out to a lake somewhere (we passed a cool riverside campsite driving to Berg Eltz last weekend). We thought our summer weather was over when all of last week it was rainy and in the low 60's...I even pulled out the girls' winter clothes because it was so chilly for so many days in a row. This weekend was gorgeous in the 80's so we set the tent up Saturday afternoon!Leila wasn't much of a camping dog...she hung out until we started the firepit (the crackling scares her!!!) So we slept in the tent and Leila slept in the house!!!!!!!Roasting marshmellows...Hailey won't eat them but she loves to cook them!
This was a pic from last weekend when we made Smore's (Sharice sent us a care package from Hawaii with the biggest marshmellows I've ever seen!!!!) It was perfect because it was chilly out!Getting ready for booksCrashed in no time! Our plan was for one of us to move with Kailee into the house before day-break to be sure she got a full-nights sleep and wasn't woken early by the sun or cars going by. Her 2 yr molars are coming in so she was pretty restless anyway so she and I went in around 1am.
