Backyard Camping

A couple of weeks ago, we all decided to enjoy the great weather outside by going camping. Since this was the first campout for the kids, we elected to stay in the backyard. We had a great time! We cooked steaks, made s'mores, and listened to the wind in the trees as we slept. Now that we've had some practice sleeping in the tent, we'll go to a state park later this summer.

Walker wore his hardhat to help build the tent.

We cooked steaks over a (charcoal) campfire.

We roasted marshmallows.

The s'mores were a bit messy.

Maybe it was good that we did this in the backyard this time... it made it a lot easier to clean up the sticky messes!
