Camping...well almost anyways...


Last week, we set out to do some serious camping....well, sortof...well, okay, it was just in our back yard....well...we actually ended up coming inside to our nice cool home after a couple of hours...okay...we wimped out. I admit it. Adam and I really did have good intentions though! We got it all set up, made a real campfire, cooked hot dogs over the fire and made smores and roasted marshmallows. When we got in the tent we realized..."WHAT ARE WE THINKING??" It was SSOOO doggone humid. Really, no joke. As we looked around the tent at Emma and Ian with their hair dripping wet with sweat, we thought...maybe it wouldn't be too difficult to talk them into going inside?? SSOOO, a little bribery goes a long way with the Helton kids. The promise of a home made milkshake, staying up late to watch Funniest Home Videos and sleeping in the living room did the trick! Score one for the parents!!! :)
It was a really fun "almost camp out". We'll try again when the conditions are much less....sweaty!
