Backyard Camping

The boys have been out of school for a week, but yesterday Derrick was finally done with post-planning.  We feel like we can really begin summer now.  What better way to celebrate the start of summer than to camp in our backyard! 


It began as just a Derrick and the boys idea.  Then, when Amanda insisted on participating, I decided to join.  After all, it didn't seem fair to enjoy a comfy bed inside while Derrick had all three outside.   Amanda was a little upset that we left Farley inside (as was he), but I just couldn't see him settling in the tent with us.  Someone would have gotten stepped on.  

Our beds were comfy...soft grass and warm sleeping bags.  We all slept great and I just loved waking to hear the birds singing in the trees.

Derrick and the boys arose early to make pancakes, while Amanda and I enjoyed our sleeping bags for a few extra minutes.  It was a delightful way to start summer.
