Backyard Camping

Wade left for a well deserved fishing trip with his dad, brother and nephew a few weekends ago...and while dad was away, the boys and I crammed as much adventure into one Saturday/Sunday as possible. My goal was simple - to completely wear them out so I could get as much sleep as possible.

My favorite memory from the weekend was our backyard camp night. Thanks to my father-in-law, we had a comfortable tent which I was able to assemble myself...okay, with a little help from my neighbor...we were armed with lanterns, shark water bottles, caterpillar sleeping bags, oodles of blankets, every dinosaur book we owned, drawing tablets and crayons to keep Sam busy, snacks, and a serious case of the giggles.
