"Extreme" Camping

As in...extremely convienient, extremely cheap and extremely close to home! We set up the tent in the backyard last night for the boys to sleep in. (Mom stayed inside with the Cal-King to herself)
We had another boy cousin over, the four of them had a blast helping Daddy set up the tent, they are getting to be big helpers.
We had pizza and frozen grapes on the patio for dinner. (the convection oven was another perk of backyard camping)
Everyone got to have a nice warm bath also...this just keeps getting better.

They chowed on smores before climbing in the tent for the night.
These little boys loved every minute of being outside. They gathered their blankets and stuffed animals and settled in.
They watched Tom and Jerry and everyone was fast asleep by 8:30pm and up at 5:30am. It got a little nippy this morning so Brian had them all by him for the last few hours. Tonight will be an early night. A great weekend before the baby comes. Pretty soon there will four in the tent!

Love the backyard camping. That is the way to do it. The girls sleep on the tramp and they think that is a blast! I love Lukey wrapped up in that blanket. Looks familiar. Bry and Matt got them from the Baseball trip.
