You should have seen her eyes light up! She's been waiting for this day since a year ago when we moved in and declared the back yard a perfect place for our tent.
From about 5:00 pm on, she kept telling us how "tired" she was, and when was it going to be bedtime? That was a first! It was all she could do to wait.
But first, they set up the tent together.
Then we waited until Joey was in bed before breaking out one of the best combinations ever created: s'mores.Even though this was for daddy and daughter, I just had to be there to help document the experience. Oh, and s'mores are one of the reasons I love camping to begin with.
Without a place to build a fire, we opted for the open flame of the grill.
Mmmm, gooey goodness!And then they settled in for the night. I checked on them a few times, looking out the window and seeing the glow of the flashlight casting shadows on the walls of the tent. I wondered if she would ever fall asleep...
John said she feel asleep close to 10pm. I heard them come in at about 6:30 this morning -- she made it all night! I have a feeling this was just the first of many backyard camping adventures for our family.
