Backyard Camping

We camped out in our backyard on Saturday, in preparation for the Big Event at Fahnestock.

We had planned to make smores on the grill, but the fossil fuel ran out, so we resorted to using the microwave to melt the marshmallows. (Lesson Reinforced: Charcoal Rules!)

The clouds blew away as night fell, but inside the tent we couldn't see the stars. We lay quietly and listened for strange noises. We heard cars, the pump on the pool filter next door, and the low murmur of voices.

This was the Big Sister's first time in a tent. The Little Sister went to bed, inside the house, at 19:00 EDT, so my wife spent the night inside — though she didn't sleep so well with the rest of us outside. The kids slept well.
