So Rebecca had a great idea. I'm sure it was planted in her fertile mind from one of two quality sources- tv or daycare. She thought that we should camp in the backyard. Here everyone camps on Labor Day, so her dad and I thought "why not."
We shopped the summer clearance sales and obtained the pre-requisite fire pit and tiki torches. Dug out the camping stuff meticulously put away five (YES FIVE) years ago. Astonished at the fact that we used to be organized and neat people and pitched the tent. The tent bought for my 24th birthday by my parents. The tent that sleeps 6 comfortably. We bought hot dogs, marshmellows, chocolate and graham crackers- things that never see the bottom of a grocery cart in this family. We lit the fire and tiki torches and had one of the nicest camp-outs ever.
We cannot claim to be the first to camp in our yard. Granny and Grandpa used to camp in their Casita in the backyard pre- our fabulous guest suite. But the accomodations can't be beat. So check it out and see what you think....
