Back Yard Campout

Last weekend, we set up the tent in the back yard for a little campout with the kids. Timo set up the air mattresses and sleeping bags, and we got the kids tucked in as cozy as we could. They were excited at the prospect of sleeping outside, and it was hard to get them to settle down.
Once they were all in bed, Timo and I snuggled together on our side to watch a movie on his iPad 2. When the movie ended, we checked on the kids. H was squirming around, so we took him inside. We decided that I should sleep inside while Timo slept outside with the other two kids. AJ was sleeping well, but K got cold shortly after 2, and she sleepily stumbled inside to finish the night in the warm house. Timo followed shortly afterwards with AJ, and we finished the night in the comfort of our beds.

It was a fun idea that we would like to repeat, but next time, I think we will wait for a warmer evening.
