We did not go anywhere this summer. We did not even escape the Boise city limits. How lame are we??? I kept thinking we would be heading to St George and then it just kept getting pushed back. Now, there is only 1 week left of Summer and no more time to travel...
We have been outside a lot! Playing at Roaring Springs, swimming, library trips, picnics, park days, and the kids had a lot of fun playing outside with friends. Macie had dance camp, Little Miss Homemakers, and they both went to Hannah Camp a couple of times. It has been so nice to have nowhere to be, no schedule, and time to play with my kids! I have had to let a lot of things go with the house, and there is evidence that we truly did not leave much!
Dave got a tent for Fathers Day so we decided to camp in our backyard. It worked out really great so Khloe could sleep in her own room (we had a monitor plugged in through an extension cord) and we watched a movie with ice cream in the tent and had a little campout. Dave & I didn't get much sleep that night, but the kids had a lot of fun! There was just one little boy who was disappointed that there was no FIRE!
Hopefully next summer, we will adventure out into the woods for a real campout. But for now, this one will have to do!

What a cute idea! You definitely need to venture out into the woods and do some real camping. Maybe when we move back we can plan something. We love to camp! I dont think there is anything better then getting into nature and having nothing electronic!
ReplyDeleteSo when I watched Jon & Kate they did the same thing...and ever since I have always wanted to do a yearly family camp out in the backyard! I love making fun little traditions like that, and i think for your kids it is something they will always remember and be able to look back on! You are so pretty and your kids are stinkin cute!
