This is one of our first times to be at home during July 1st (CANADA DAY!) and July 4th. Typically this is when Mr. Man and I take a trip together.alone.without.any.children. Unfortunately this year that is an impossiblity. So, the kids and Mr. Man voted on a camping trip. While at first adamantly opposed, I finally compromised on a camping trip out back behind our house (so that I could still sleep on the wonderful bed upstairs!) The tent was set up (I forgot to get any pics of it) the trampoline, I mean air mattress blown up, and a chiminea purchased so that we could do our own roasting of hot dogs, and smores in our own backyard! The kids had a blast! We had three nights of staying up hours and hours past the kids bedtime, friends over to share in the fun, yummy food, sparklers, fireworks and even time to catch a movie during a rainy afternoon! So even though we have to keep Big J dry and relatively safe (with no bike riding too!) we've been able to have a fun week! (Though I'm not suggesting we give up our weekend away tradition in the future!!!)

What a great ideea. My kids have been wanting to go camping(Kai included) which sounds like a horrible thing to do when you are pregnant! What a great solution! we will have to give backyard camping a try.
