For Henley's Birthday (4/11), which fell on spring break and the day before Easter, we had a camping trip planned. Well you can guess with Covid we had to cancel Henley's birthday trip. Since we couldn't leave the house to go camping, Kevin and I devised a plan to do some backyard camping.
We waited until the following weekend but got the camper all set up and surprised the kids.
Our home picnic table is a little nicer than the normal campground picnic tables. It was a beautiful evening to grill out. After dinner, Kevin fired up the new fire pit he built. You can't have camping without roasted marshmallows.
Of course after Easter you have to use Peeps as your marshmallow for your S'mores. Bryce preferred to eat his Peep just roasted.
This campground even had a trampoline for the kids to play on. What a great place!
To end the evening Kevin set up the outdoor TV for some fun camping nighttime entertainment. One plus about camping is the later bedtimes and we all were really enjoying the time "out of the house".
After Breakfast in the camper we headed back into the house for a post Easter craft.
We made some Sock bunnies and in moments like these Kevin and I really miss our kids teachers who are the ones that would normally do these kinds of things with our kids. They did well and enjoyed the craft. I would say, all in all, our first at home camping trip was a success!
