Last night we had an Indoor Camp Out. We got out our dome tent and set it up in the living room. We started out by roasting marshmallows over the stove burner and making smores. The boys didn't really like the smores, they were too sticky. Then we put the boys in their pajamas and got their sleeping bags out and got their beds ready. We then turned out all the lights and used flashlights for the rest of the night. Ryan really loved to make bunnies with his fingers. Matthew liked making shadow giants and shadow toes.
We played UNO and sang camping songs and the boys really enjoyed the adventure. Then when it was time to go to bed, we zipped up the tent door and tried to go to sleep. After an hour of trying to go to sleep we put Ryan back in his bed upstairs and then about a half hour later we put Matthew in his bed. Which was great, because I really didn't want to sleep on the floor.
It was a lot of fun and the boys really liked it. Next time we will remember to get some air mattresses and improve our beds in case the boys actually sleep in the tent.

What a perfect way to go camping!
How fun! I used to love doing that. We never had a tent, though. We just built forts with blankets and pillows. That was fun too.
That sounds fun! Perfect to introduce kids to camping...and figure out what will and won't work!
What a great idea. I think we'll have to try it. Including the actually sleeping in our own beds part! Too funny.
What fun parents you are! Raspberry is jealous.
What a great idea, we will definitely have to try it.
That is my kind of camping! It's fun to check in with you guys on occasion...
I just love things like that. That's the stuff your kids will remember!
what a great idea!! we did the "real" camping thing last summer and it was a beautiful disaster :) the boys loved it, but didn't sleep worth a darn. How is baby zach doing?
