Spring camping fun!

Who says it's too early to start camping in April? Not my boys! Dallin was playing with his friend from across the street and they had the idea that it would be so fun to camp in the empty lots behind out house. We decided to compromise a bit and we set up the tent in the grass common area adjacent to our house. (sorry, I should have thought to bring out the camera while it was still light)

Then we dug a little fire pit in our not-yet-planted garden area. :-)

We put the younger two kids to bed and the neighbor boys and their dad came over and the guys got all of the sleeping stuff ready. Us mom's joined in for a bit around the fire and for some Smores but we lucked out and got to sleep in our nice warm beds while are awesome husbands slept outside with the boys "just 30 feet from our beds" as Drostan put it. :-) Everyone ended up having a really great time and we've decided we will definitely be having a fire pit at our new house!
Oh, and the boys got a hold of the camera for a bit this morning and had some fun.


Needless to say, everyone is a bit tired today after staying up way past bedtime for all the fun last night. Thank goodness for quite Sunday afternoons when we can nap and relax a bit.
