We had wanted to take the kids camping this summer but we've been so busy with house renovation and house guests that we probably won't have time to go away this year, so tonight we took Beatrice out for a little "practice camping" in the backyard.
She had a wonderful time playing in the tent, eating campfire-roasted hot dogs, and of course, making smores (or "candy crackers," as she calls them). She ran around the yard with her flashlight, said goodnight to the moon and stars, then settled into her sleeping bag to sing songs and read camping-themed storybooks by the light of her flashlight. By ten o' clock at night it was pretty clear she wasn't ever going to sleep in the tent, so we carried her back into her own bedroom and said goodnight, thus ending her first experience "camping."
