Jeremy and the kids have been wanting to go camping for months. They finally convinced me to join them and we picked a spot only 20 minutes from home.
We got there and had lots of helpers setting up the tent.
Kenyon was just excited about lots of junk food!
Strategically set up the tent with 2 pack-n-plays for the babies.
Dug a fire pit
Built a fire
Enjoyed a lovely evening roasting hot dogs and marshmallows
Then the kids went to bed really well because they were super tired, but apparently Owen didn't get the memo about going to sleep and staying asleep because he cried off and on until about 1:00 in the morning when he was screaming so loud he woke up the other 4 kids. At that point, we decided we had "camped" and it was time to head home to our own beds... so we did!

Fun times, but I think we will stick with evening getaways for a while where we come home at bedtime until the little ones aren't so little anymore!

looks fun! And exhausting!! That must have been hard to take down the tent in the middle of the night!
That was brave to take all those little kids camping. We have not ventured out of our backyard yet because we are sure it would end up like this!
