First Camping Trip

Last night all three of our girls camped for the very first time. They didn't have far to go...we camped out in the front yard! We love camping, but have not been able to go much because the past two summers we have been involved in adoptions and travel to foreign countries. Now our family is complete and we're gearing up for some family fun! Of course, we had to purchase a larger tent for our larger family. We researched a lot of tents and ended up with the Kelty Trail Dome 6-Person tent. It's lightweight, simple, and very durable in wind and rain. We got each of the girls their own youth-sized mummy bag for warm sleeping. So last night was a trial run in the front yard, but hopefully we'll be heading out for some real camping soon!

Oh fun! Hey, we should all plan a camping trip together sometime since we all love camping, too. That would be a blast!! The boys just love to go camping.

That sounds like lots of fun! Did the girls enjoy it...and did they sleep well?

They slept great! Us...not so much. Elizabeth popped her head out of her sleeping back a few times during the night to make sure I was still there. The screeching owls and howling coyotes woke Ruby a couple of times, but she was right next to me so she was totally not concerned. Tony and I needed our air mattress and we would have been fine. :-)
