Every once in a while, John will get the tent out. He and Hayden have spent a night outside in the backyard of my Grandmother's house that we lived in for awhile. They have also spent a night in our current living room.
Last night, they invited Meredith to join them in the camping in experience in the living room.
We had to wait until nearly 10pm to set up the tent. Because Stephanie and Philip weren't invited this time and we had to get them to bed first! Just as well, really, Steffi didn't take her nap and she fell asleep within minutes of lying down.
Daddy really got the ball rolling with the whole experience:
They pretended they were camping in Africa. Daddy told ghost stories. They read books. Daddy kept making a growling sound like an animal was outside. They discussed ManBearPig - half man, half bear, half pig (I kept asking Hayden how many halves make a whole, but apparently, the concept escaped him.)
Meredith had a really good time on her very first camping experience.
