The weather has been wonderful. We have been thinking about going camping and trying to decide when to go. We decided that last weekend was the time. Packed up our gear and headed out into the great outdoors...
Also known as the back yard?
Paxton was so excited when I set up the tent at approx 5:30pm that he immediately went inside and put on his PJs. When we wouldn't let him go straight to bed he decided that it was also time to be a cowboy since, you know, we're roughing it.
We got out the chairs and our mini marshmallows
and we hung out until late. We let the boys play until they couldn't play anymore
they played soccer 
jumped on the trampoline
and they played their little hearts out
At bedtime they sat in their sleeping bags and talked with mom and dad
at which point they went to bed.

Looks like a swell family outing! These are the things kids remember and have fond memories of.
Last time we camped in our backyard in Guam, the tent was flooded in the middle of the night with a heavy downpour. All headed inside...the next morning the tent was gone. Blew or floated away we have no idea.
So have you had family camping nite, under the stars, on the trampoline yet?
We do like to sleep on the tramp, although we haven't found a solution for the person in the center getting squished as gravity works its magic.
What a camp out, I love the convience of having everything you need at your finger tips. It looks like the boys had a blast! I can't wait for all of us to go camping again.
Paxton is such a ham! I bet he keeps you laughing. Looks like a lot of fun.
OH my gosh, I love it! Cody and I are really interested in a house in PG that has a HUGE side yard, we said that it would be perfect for little family camp outs. You have inspired us!
What a blast! That will be a treasured memory for your boys. I love the video clips of Paxton. Too funny! And that cracks me up that Gauge put himself into time out while wearing the lion costume!
Awesome idea. There's the superhero cowboy stance of Paxton's!
What a fun idea! Man you really are just a fun mom, your boys are lucky to have you. They will have such fun memories to share as they get older!
