Camping is in Tents

We decided to go tenting this afternoon......

In our front yard! It was such a nice day so we decided to practice pitching our tent before we go camping Memorial Day weekend. It went up pretty well, but not without a few hitches. We didn't stake it down at first and the wind took it. Once we did that it went up pretty smoothly. We looked like some rednecks who tent in their front yard (and with Christmas lights still up and dead garland) and had to hear kids riding bikes past saying, "Mommy, we should get one of those!"

Once we got it put all together, we played around inside and watched Macyn run from end to end, giggling, multiple times. My parents were also over today and they joined our fun as well.

 

 After playing in the tent it was time to take it down. We were amazed how quickly we got it back into the 2.5'x1'x1'bag on the first try. We received conformation on our Memorial Day weekend camping today, so vacation, here we come!
