Camping

Backyard Camping
Brent temporally lost his mind last week and somehow ended up promising Mary Grace that we could camp out in the backyard. After 3 different trips to the store for 'supplies' (yes, you'd think we were leaving the neighborhood at the very least)- we were ready for our big night!
These two assembled the tent in just 3 short hours (kidding...kind of)
And then while Brent grilled the burgers over the open camp fire (aka, the grill), Mary Grace and I set up camp. We stocked the tent with flashlights, blew up the air mattress, and ran electrical wires to the tent for cell phone chargers. We gathered the super necessary items for our night like the ipad, snacks, and Mary Grace's babies.
When we finally finished our dinner the sun had long since set, and there was nothing to do but make s'mores and tell ghost stories.
Mary Grace made a really great attempt at an all nighter, but finally fell asleep around 1AM! Clearly feeding her s'mores at 10PM was not our best idea!
Overall it was a very fun night. I might even be willing to do it again sometime (preferably when I'm NOT pregnant!!!)
