backyard campout.

last night was our first annual {can we please make it annual?} backyard campout with my family. it was a blast :)

festivites:

set up camp.
the boys set up a golf game {chipping into the kiddy pool}.
dinner! {hot dogs, frog eye salad, baked beans, watermelon}
serena's first time on the tramp, with 4 spotters making sure she didn't run right off the edge.
lounging.
campfire.
sparklers.
dutch oven raspberry peach cobbler! yummmm!
movie with the projector.
lots of mosquito bites {i counted 8 on my left foot alone}.
sleeping in tents.
waking up sweaty when the sun hit the tents.
yummy breakfast.

well everyone except for my dad, serena and i slept in tents. i was totally ready and excited to do it, but halfway through the night i started having some serious sciatic nerve pain. so i went inside and got comfortable on a real bed.

basically we enjoyed all of the fun camping stuff, with the luxury of indoor plumbing, electical outlets, and the ability to step inside and cool off for a few minutes when the heat was too much :)

it was a good time. you should try it sometime.
