Fun Friday: Camping!

Congratulations to Anna M.! We went "camping" last night!

Okay, disclaimer: K and Moses "camped." I slept in my bed. Because even inside our house, I'm not so into the camping thing. In fact, that tent you see in the picture... it's a beach shade tent. We don't even own a tent. And outside of the Elmo sleeping bag Moses used last night, we don't even own sleeping bags...

Anyway, we started in the afternoon, fishing in the river between the couches (i.e., "riverbanks"):

When ZuZu got up from her nap, she got to go fishing, too:

Then we "fried" the fish up into goldfish crackers. :) And sometime in there, Moses became a "king." I don't know why, but it made sense to Moses. He kept going in his tent to change his "robe." Here he is sporting the striped variety:

We had a picnic dinner of hotdogs, baked beans, and chips in the living room. I mean, at the camp site. And what is a camping trip without s'mores?!

While we ate, we watched the Homecoming Kids Camp Out (again, getting back to my Baptist roots! :) ). There's really nothing like hearing an almost 2-year-old sing "It's a Miracle" or an almost 5-year-old sing "I am a promise"... or watching a couple of kids laugh so hard at "The Laughing Song":


I went to Walmart and came home to this... K and Moses (a.k.a. "George" and "Davy") were watching "Davy Crockett and the River Pirates":

Before bed, K read Moses the book "Just Me and My Dad" (Little Critter and his dad go camping in that book). Then they slept in the living room under the stars, courtesy of Moses' cloud b turtle:


It was a success! Thanks for the GREAT idea, Anna M.! I have the gift card and will get it to you!
