Backyard Camping

The end of summer is coming up quickly and the boys want to go camping, so we had a test run to see how they would do sleeping in a tent. We set up the tent in the backyard, got out the sleeping bags and air mattresses, and prepared for a great night.



The boys watched a movie and had fun playing in the tent before going to bed.



They slept like logs all night long. Their Dad...well, he woke up many times throughout the night to check on them, slide them back into their sleeping bags, and cover them up over and over. We had a fun night together, just the boys and their Dad.



And for those of you needing your Annie fix...here's a picture of her. Go Gators.
