Summer Campout

Last Friday night, we had a little campout for the girls. We did this a few summers ago, and the girls loved it! And since this was DJ's last weekend home, we thought we needed to do something fun and special for the girls! 

We spent our Friday morning at the pool, came home for naps, and then told the girls to get dressed fro their campout. Their choose of attire was leotards with shorts. Since Addy is potty training she chose a t-shirt and her undies. 

All ready to go outside for the campout!

And a quick selfie with my baby!

We took the girls outside while DJ grilled brats and hot dogs. The girls played and played. Thankfully, a rain storm had come through the day before so it was a bit cooler than it had been! It was still in the 90s, but you know, cooler.

They ran, and went down the slide, and played in their house. 

Next year, we have plans on revamping our back yard. These poor girls have always had rinky-dink yard toys since we've moved so often!

Gretchen loves to campout! I think she's crazy, but she asks to go camping every year!

Mommy and Meggie. When we were at the pool earlier, I forgot to put sunscreen on my face- hence my really red nose and sunglasses tan line!

She told me that you could only see one of my eyes in our first picture and we had to take another one! 

And then she wanted a picture by herself!

After we ate dinner, DJ started a campfire.

We broke out the marshmallows and made smores!

Gretchen loves to set her marshmallows on fire and eat smores. 

Adalyn just wanted the marshmallows.

And so did Megan. She does NOT like her marshmallows to be roasted.

After our smores, we sat around for a bit longer while the girls played. We finally cleaned Adalyn up and put her to bed and then the rest of us played chase and racing games. The girls had a blast playing outside!

After our races, we cleaned up the big girls and DJ and the girls made a tent in the upstairs hallway. Gretchen slept there all night, but Megan woke up around 11, came to our bed, and then DJ took her back to her bed. She asked the next day why she woke up in her bed and not in the tent!

Our campout was so much fun! I think we'll have to have a bonfire this fall and make smores again.
