Backyard Campout

On Friday night, we had our annual backyard campout. This year it was just us (no cousins) and we still had a great time. Kimee and Audrey were so excited to put up the tent, eat smores, and sleep outside.

What do you ned for a backyard campout?
A tent and a fire!

For dinner we grilled chicken and ate outside. Here is a conversation between Audrey and myself as I was dishing out their food.

Mom: Audrey, what do you want for dinner? Chicken, noodles, carrots, grapes?
Audrey: I don't want any of those. Oh, I know! I want shmores!


Kimee is getting really good at making the perfectly golden marshmallow.


This is sticky!

It's getting dark! Good thing it's dark enough you can't see how messy my hair is!
Time for bed!
I can't get them to hold still to take their picture!

No backyard campout would be complete without monkey paws for breakfast!

  1. Oh what a cute idea!! I'm sure your whole family just loves this tradition!! I tried the whole setting up the tent inside and letting the two older ones sleep in there and they were up till 10:30... I'll re-think that idea next time!!
