Our Campsite! I had him change into something comfortable after work and then walked him in with his eyes closed. I had bird/forest sounds playing on the iPad and he said for a second he really thought we were outside! haha! But when he opened his eyes he was very excited and played along with me as we went on our camping adventure! Also, in the pic you probably can't see them but there are glow in the dark stars on the walls.
Smore Dip! Very yummy! We liked it best with the Nutter Butters. And of course like when you are camping, your marshmallows always get a little "browner" then you want.
Our fire pit.
Close up on the fire. Made out of felt and the logs are rolled up wood drawer liners.
We got to camp by a beautiful pond but be careful. Snakes like to hide in the bushes.
Sitting in our camp chairs with our feet in the "grass".
Sitting around our picnic table. He is always happy when I make steak and mushrooms! And of course we had Martinelli in our camping mugs. (I had all the stuff for a dump cake in the dutch oven but we were way too full!)
For our activities, we sat around the campfire and ate yummy camping food, watched Meatballs - an old Bill Murray movie about being at camp - it was dumb but it made us laugh, we turned off the lights to look at the "stars" then got in the tent with a flashlight and I read a scary ghost story and we played some card games. It was a very fun and casual night and Logan said he thought it was very fun and creative!
After all the activities,we stayed up late watching Downton Abby - we are now addicted. Then we were done camping and had a good nights rest in our own bed. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that Log didn't want to sleep downstairs in the tent.

Nicely done Anna :-) I'm very impressed with your impromtu campsite!
Awesome job! That sounds like the best way to camp when it's raining!
I hadn't read your blog in awhile. It looks like you guys are having a blast...makes me want to relive the expat days.
