Brynnly has been wanting to camp in the backyard for over a week. I asked her to please hold off until it warms up a bit and that took us to tonight. It really was the perfect day to do it because it got up to about 90 degrees today and it was TOO HOT to sleep upstairs in our bedrooms anyway; you know I ain't even turning the air conditioning on in April!
So first thing this morning we got the tent out and Brynnly helped stake it down, with a little tutorial on hammering from Ryan.
Brynnly had a whole list of activities for us to do, we went on a bear hunt where she hid stuffed bears all around the house! She had us play twister and go on a scavenger hunt. She is so FUN and creative. I love how she loves planning things and thinks about so many details.
I made hot dogs buns from my sourdough starter which actually turned out to be more of sourdough rolls. Lauren really liked them, but everyone else is breaded out! Too much of the good stuff lately.
Speaking of good stuff...we ate this as soon as I got it frosted.
Chocolate cake from scratch, again using the starter!
When the sun set we played a little Quixx and roasted marshmallows.
I read a couple ghost stories that ended up leaving a much stronger impression than I anticipated. Whoops! Lauren was pretty freaked out, she told me later.
The tent was very cozy and it had cooled off considerably.
Sweet Dreams, my AWESOME wonderful, fantastically FUN Family!!!
