If ya just can't make it to the Mountains ...

Then CAMP in your BACKYARD!!!

I know our neighbors probably find us VERY weird, but oh WELL!!!

We had plans a couple weekends ago to go camping with Alan's family and we were so excited. Well when it came down to the weekend, we realized that it just wasn't going to work out cause Alan needed to work. We were ALL bummed to say the least, but we didn't let work SPOIL our weekend CAMPING!!

We set up TENT in our BACKYARD and had a Jolly Good TIME!!!

Zachary is ALWAYS such a GOOD helper!!!

Kye was on a WEIRD-O nap schedule that day,

so he got to stay up late and PLAY with us too!!

We had fun doing s'mores!

So much fun that I didn't take any pictures of the maddness until the kidd-o's were all cleaned up and in bed ... OH WELL!!

And they SLEPT like a DREAM!!!!

It was fun to be able to still "CAMP" with our kids!

I love just being together as a family and doing SIMPLE things in life ... even if they ARE a little STRANGE!!! :)
