We Went Camping!

Ok, well we didn't really GO anywhere but we did turn out back yard into a camp-out!  It cooled off a little yesterday and Jerry thought it would be fun for Will.

We set up our tent, got out our fire pit, and brought our bag chairs to the back yard (Thanks, Monica!  We love our "new to us" chairs!).

Our backyard camp site!

Will agreed to pose for a picture!!

Ok - I admit I carried our sofa cushions outside to sleep on!  I'm not into
sleeping on the hard ground, one of the reasons I have never gone camping!
I asked Jerry if that was "preppy" camping or "redneck" camping.  : )  : ) 
He said it wouldn't count as "redneck" unless the sofa cushions were already outside to begin with!
We got a really good laugh at ourselves over this (and I'm sure the neighbors did too if they saw us!) 

I'm afraid I may have crossed the line with the addition of
the ceiling fan! 

I ended up with this cool picture of the fire while I was trying to
find a good setting to use my camera at night.

Swinging - at NIGHT!

It wouldn't be a camp out without marshmallows!

Telling a story by the fire  : )
Thanks, Jerry, for a great idea!

It is now 8:21 a.m.  Breakfast has been cooked and cleaned up.  Our sofas have been reassembled (inside!), our tent is packed away, and this blog post is almost done!  We got up with the sun this morning at 6:30, and as you know we're not morning people around here!  I can't say that we got a great night of sleep, but any sleep we missed was well worth it for our first campout together!
