One of the highlights of our summer was attending a camp-out hosted by our good friends, the Willoughbys. Six families gathered at the Willoughby's house on a Saturday afternoon for a swim, some play time, and a cookout. Afterwards, the dads worked on setting up tents in the back yard, the moms supervised, and the kids gathered to watch a movie al fresco on the giant projection screen. No camp-out is complete without a S'mores Bar so, for dessert, we tasted all of the varieties. The kids were so excited about the prospect of sleeping outdoors, and maybe because of the sugar coursing through their veins from the S'mores, that they didn't get to bed until 11 o'clock. The next morning it was a classic camp-side breakfast and then home for a big nap! Everyone had a fantastic time and we hope it will become an annual event. Since the camp-out Kaden has asked, repeatedly, to sleep outside. We may have an outdoorsman on our hands!!

Dinner consisted of hot dogs, mac n' cheese, and fruit cups.

Movie time!
Tangled - Kaden LOVED it, especially the fact that the prince is named Flynn ("just like me" he said).

Still not tired
Mommy and Kaden after he helped assemble the tent
Mmmmm...S'mores! Kaden liked his first taste of this yummy treat, but didn't like the mess they created.
Our first camping trip was a great success!!
