Camping

Well, we were going to have the girl's first outdoor camping experience in the back yard tonight.  It is going to get down to 52 degrees overnight.  I was thinking - "What a perfect night to sleep outside!"  Jason was thinking - "Those girls are going to freeze!"

I was going to have them in their sleeping bags and throw a comforter over top of them.  I figured keeping warm would be incentive to stay in their own sleeping bags rather than coming over to mom & dad's air mattress and attempting to steal some of our covers.

The girls are (somewhat) happily sleeping in my old 2 man tent in the living room.  They really wanted to sleep outside, but Dad vetoed that idea.  We will keep that for another night that doesn't get so chilly.

The plan is: camp for one night in the backyard and then if that goes well, book a weekend at the regional  campground 5 minutes from our house and stay up there while we do all our normal stuff.  If there isn't a meltdown there, maybe we can head somewhere out of easy driving distance from our house - like Bemidji or the North Shore and stay there for a weekend. 

Until then, we will be here in the living room.
