We had a very eventful Memorial Day Weekend! On Saturday evening we took a family trip to Academy to buy a tent for the family. Yes, you heard me right a tent. I have already made sure Cary and I are on the same page and there will be no camping deep in the woods, there will be a decent bathroom and shower near by, and the area will be checked for snakes before I get out of the car. I think that many fun memories can be made camping over the years so we are going to give it a go. 
Cary was all ready to take the girls for the night to the lease but I convinced him a night in the backyard should be tried first. We decided Sunday night would be the best since Kaylee had a school holiday Monday. The tent we purchased is an 8 person tent and has a little porch area to keep wet items and other things you might not want to bring in the tent. Cary assembled the tent (with Kaylee's supervision) in no time. Once we got all the sleeping bags, drinks, snacks, and DVD player in the tent we were ready to go.
The girls waiting patiently for Mom and Dad to get in the tent.
All the girls waiting on the movie to get started. We decided to watch Bedtime Stories.
Unfortunately after the movie was over it was all downhill for Campbell. Evidently she takes after her mother and if she stays up too late she just cannot calm herself down and gets a case of the giggles. That also included pestering her sister who was trying to sleep. After about 10 warnings she and I returned to the house for the remainder of the night or should I say morning since it was 12:00am. I think we will need to wait another year before trying a family camping trip but Kaylee is already asking when she and Daddy can camp again. At least we made some fun memories and enjoyed a little adventure too.

we share the same thoughts when it comes to camping! i prefer to "camp" in some sort of well-equipped cabin with plumbing and central heat/air!
i love that y'all took the DVD player to camp! :)
