Backyard Camping

Over the fourth of July weekend, we decided to give tent camping in our backyard a try. We figured if it didn't work out, it wasn't too far to our own beds. Everyone (even Laken) participated. We had a fire and made smores and checked out the stars. We decided we needed a bigger tent as once we got everyone's air mattress inside there was barely enough room to crawl in. Brad and I didn't sleep so well as Preston kept moving around and I was sure he would wake Lake. We finally ended up putting him in between us. Laken woke up shortly after 5 am, so her and I headed in to some real beds. I forgot how bright the sun is in a tent. All and all it was fun and we'll probably do the backyard camp out, again. If we purchased a new tent, we'd may be even consider a nearby campground.
