Camping fun

For dinner camping, Andy cooked hot dogs on a stick, and for dessert, we all had roasted marshmallows, to have the full camping experience. Sonia and Ben had a hilariously good time playing with Sonia's family's tent. They did performances, using the fly as a curtain; they leaned against the tent to see how it gave and bounced; and they played inside the tent, bouncing around, hugging each other, screaming in delight as Stacey pretended to be a bear, and smashing their faces up against the screen. Eventually everybody got into Ben's family's giant tent for bedtime stories, and the kids fell sound asleep very quickly after going to bed. A wonderful time was had by all, and we hope we can do it again soon. (In these photos, Ben is wearing his cookie pants, his current favorite. His mama made them for him out of cloth his daddoo bought for him in California.)
