Backyard Camping

Last weekend Benjamin's Scout Camping Trip was cancelled due to yucky weather. He was so disappointed. He wanted to go regardless of the rain! Pete couldn't bear to disappoint him so he told him as soon as he got off the school bus they would start their camping adventure in the backyard. They set up the tent, got dinner going and built a fire for smores. I was invited out for the evening smores. Sophia was at a sleepover so she missed all the outdoor fun. The boys were all in the tent at 7:30 to read books and do devotionals. I sat for a while on the steps to listen to the giggling and fun. Pete is such an amazing dad. He loves those boys and is so commited to help build them into strong young men! William made it for 30 minutes in the tent. Pete brought him in to sleep in his bed. At 5:00 a.m. Benjamin and Pete were both inside in their beds as well. They had such a great time and I am sure Benjamin will be talking about it for many years to come.
