Camping!

Last week we decided since it was the end of the school year we would celebrate by going camping! As many of you know we are not campers at all!! I guess it is the factor that there are four girls and Adam. Myself and the girls enjoy having indoor plumbing (definitely toilets and T.P over logs and leaves. HaHa) and sleeping where there are no bugs, rodents, bears, or SNAKES!!! I guess you can say we are pansies!!! We decided we would camp "Heaton style". (In the back yard!) We actually tried our best to make it as realistic as possible! We put up our tent and loaded it with sleeping bags and blankets.
Adam had a smile on his face the whole time! I guess he felt he was able to do something "manly" finally with all us girls!! We are always talking him into doing girly things and he is such a good sport about it! The girls were so excited! I love this picture of all of them in the tent! I think Adam is having a good time, what do you think(I love his facial expression)?
We even roasted marshmallows and made s'mores! They were yummy! Although I have to admit , we still smelled like smoke but it wasn't the same as roasting them over an open flame!
Before we went to bed Adam/Dad told us some of his favorite camping stories when he was growing up! We played a couple of games by flash light and sang songs! I think I could start to like camping!?
I think the best part was spending time with each other and snuggling to keep warm!! We all got a little giggly and silly. We had a GREAT time! The girls are already in the process of planning another camping adventure!

Your girls mentioned this to me and it turns out we were camping in our backyard the same night you were. So fun! I love what great memories we can make with our kids. Hopefully this weather will warm up so we can do it again. :)

How fun. I'm not much for camping either, so maybe I'll send Brian out back with Morgan & Jackson, and I'll sleep inside with Hallie. I love the pictures! You all look like your having a great time!
