We had wanted to go camping for part of spring break. But it's still so dang cold around here, and I'm too big a wimp to camp in the cold. So we had a camp-in.
Here we are with our huge tent set up in the kitchen. We pushed back the dining room table and chairs so there'd be room. Then we grilled some hamburgers on the grill in the garage. Everyone was pretty excited about it. Laurel doesn't look it, but she had fun. And Maho thought we were all nuts when he came down from his office to a huge tent in the kitchen, but he had fun too.
I get way too excited about treats. No, these aren't fried eggs. They are s'mores that I broiled in the oven! YUM.
Everyone brought down pillows, sleeping bags and blankets and snuggled in. We even turned off all the lights and used our lantern haning in the tent. We also turned on the fountain we have in the kitchen, shooting for that camping-by-the-brook effect. Maho said it sounded like the "eternal leak." Hmmm... not really what we were going for.

After a little Family Home Evening lesson (yes it's Wednesday night, but ya gotta teach when inspiration hits) we watched a movie inside the tent on Maho's computer--Beverly Hills Ninja. I don't think anyone made it through the whole movie...
The ninas want to sleep in the tent again tonight! It's noon and the tent is still a majestic presence in the kitchen, so we shall see. I think Maho and I will opt for a soft bed tonight though!

I love it when the dog pile on dad!! Fun times for you guys!
Looks so fun! We sure miss you! Whenever Logan see's Tessy he says, "that's my favorite girl"
I LOVE it!! We did those sorts of things with our kids when they were younger. Sarah and I spent the day at the beach today for part of her spring break and then we went out to eat :)
That sounds like a lot of fun.
