Great American Campout

I hope to do a short bike tour/overnight camp with Elly this summer, and we have a camping trip planned for August. So we figured we should see how she handled a night in a tent. I set my trusty touring tent up in the backyard, got out a therma-rest, and her butterfly bag, and her flashlight, and her books, and her stuffed animal, and... well you get the drift. All in all it was a big hit. She didn't go to sleep until late, thanks to our many hours of summer daylight, but she didn't wig out in the tent either. I think we're ready for more adventures.


Our home for the night. Note the play structure in the background, thanks Tracy!


Showing mom how she was going to sleep, what turned out to be much, much later!
