Backyard Campout

Yesterday was "great american backyard campout" night. We have taken Rachel on a few camping trips and she always had fun. We know from experience that camping with toddlers is hard work, so we decided to set the tent up for the night in the yard.  After smores, Raphael took Rebecca in for the night.

Rebecca and Lola "helping" Raphael with the tent

Rachel pounded in every stake for the tent

They loved the tent- jumping around and having fun. I forgot how much kids like tents.

A praying mantis visited the campsite.

Lola likes camping too- she slept in the tent with me and Rachel

Of course we had smores.

Ready for bed!
