Camping...


The weather hasn't been cooperating where we live so I was thinking about this to keep summer alive this season. Plus, it will be a trial run to see if I can actually take my kiddos camping outside when the sun decides to come out.

Camping in your living room:

Move your furniture and pitch a tent
Use sleeping bags
Use flash lights
Turn off all lights
Play card games
Read/tell stories
Open the window or screen to get some fresh air
Make smores
Grill hot dogs
Turn on the fire place
Get a wild life CD for wilderness noise
Use only camping gear when cooking
Go for a walk outside when you all wake up

I am sure you get the idea! Have fun with it... the kiddos will have a blast!
