Camping out...really!

Okay, so it was only in the backyard, but O what fun it was. We got the tent and fire pit all set up while Tanner was napping. He squealed with delight as he noticed the giant new blue thing in the yard. He ran right down to check it all out, the doggy door was his favorite part. We sat around the fire, had S'mores and sang some songs (Tanner mostly wanted to run around in the dark.) We headed down to the tent, Tanner even has a cute little sleeping bag, and attempted to get all settled in. Tanner has never slept in any sort of bed before, only his crib and pack-n-play, so we were a little worried. I guess the marshmallows didn't really help either :) He did settle down and slept great with his Dad, I went back up to the house with the baby. They didn't come in to the house until 8:45 the next morning! It was so fun and I can't wait until we all pack up as a family and go camping together. I have so many wonderful memories from camping as a kid and I can't wait to make memories with my family now.
