A Family Campout

We tried out camping (the first time with all 6 of us) in the backyard last night. We have decided to try this activity more this summer and thought it might be smart to began in our backyard. We are excited for the real thing by the lake soon. I have to say though, we struggled some. Once the tent was up, the smores were eaten, and we were all laying in the dark in the tent, it only took about 30 minutes for 4 of the 6 to say, "Can we go inside now?" It was pretty funny. But we didn't cave in and all made it through the night even with a little rain. This morning though is the real test for the other 2 who didn't want to come in last night....those 2 feel like they are 10 years older, can't walk straight, and have said multiple time so far "I feel like I got ran over by a truck!" Maybe the air mattress will make its way to the lake next time!
