(Mis)Adventures in Camping

Friday night we decided was the perfect time to try another camping trip with Camdyn. However, our busy plans for Saturday (mostly Camdyn's 9:45 am "nastics" class) precluded us from actually getting out of town. So, we thought that camping in the backyard would still be a fun adventure for our little one. As you can see, the night started out great. We had our tent set up and our sleeping bags out...



We had a small grill which we used to make a fire and roast marshmallows...




Everything went well, until after we were all tucked in and these ferocious wild beasts named Casper and Belle decided to tear a huge whole in the side of our tent during one of their doggie wrestling matches.




Alas, we were driven inside by fear of being eaten alive by all of our West Nile laden Memphis mosquitoes, and we all enjoyed a good night's sleep in our own comfy beds. (Especially, mommy, who did not have high hopes of making it through a night of sleeping on the hard ground in the first place!)
