Getting ready to go to bed in the tent

Friday night we took the boys on their first campout. We invited David and Deann's family to join us, and Grandma and Grandpa Kelly came out for a little while to see everyone. We all had a really fun time, and even though we got rained on early in the evening, the rest of the time we were dry and having a good time. The boys were so excited all week, and could not wait to sleep in their tent. We just went out to the State Park that is only about 5 miles from our home, in the event that it was a total disaster we could just get in the car and go home. Thankfully that was not necessary, as everyone had a great time and enjoyed the whole experience. While Marcus was eating a smore (a camping essential) he asked me to lean down, he whispered in my ear "This is the best camping trip ever Mom!" I just love having these family memories!
