On July 3rd, we decided to have a last minute camp out, in my parents backyard. It was a fun way to start the Fourth of July celebrations. I could not believe how fast we packed everything up and headed out the door. Way to go Robby for keeping the camping gear so organized. On our way out the door, I thought, "Is all this worth it?" The car was STUFFED for just one night in a backyard! We ended up having a lot of fun, and so did my parents. Thank you Nana & Papa for letting us intrude on your backyard. If you are going to camp, this is the way to do it. Robby was going to grill hot dogs, but by the time everything was set up, Papa was already home with pizza. Yea, nothing to clean up. Avery and I were able to make a Target run, to get last minute stuff for Smore's and dutch oven cobbler! Charlie had so much fun in the spa. He was in there for like 2 hours. Raisin Feet! Avery loved crawling or should I say scooting on the grass, but she had a blast in the flower bed dirt! My cute, sweet little girl, having the time of her life scooting around in the dirt. A nice clean bathroom was a major plus! So was having a sink handy, and extra measuring cups that we forgot. Robby made a good dutch oven peach cobbler. Nana even stayed up late to try it. One of the best perks was letting Avery be able to crawl around inside the house for a few minutes to get all her energy out before bedtime. And so was being able to put her to sleep inside the house while watching the Food network, so the boys voices and laughs wouldn't keep her awake. Thank you Avery for staying asleep when I put you down in the play pen in the tent, and for sleeping through the night in the tent! The kids woke up happy which was a plus. Robby made some good pancakes and hash browns for breakfast. Charlie loved being able to spend so much time outside. Now Robby thinks we are ready for the ward camp-out in August! I don't know about that one, maybe if Avery is walking. We'll see!!!
Charlie loves the spa!
