Camping out, inside and walking

We decided, with all the rain we have been getting, we should go camping, indoor camping that is :). The kids had a lot of fun.

Here is Kenna in her chair. She was probably the least involved the whole night, so I thought I would get a picture of her so we know she at least watched the boys enjoy themselves.

This is our tinfoil dinner. Nothing too exciting,we cooked them in the oven, but the boys were very curious about why we were wrapping up food this way. We had lemon pepper chicken corn and cheesy potatos.
We showed them the dinners all wrapped up, and they were even more confused. But I think they were mostly excited for a change in the daily routine.
While we were waiting for dinner, Tyson, Owen and Gavin went upstairs and we made a tent/fort for them. They sat in there with the lights out and a few little flashlights and they had a blast. In fact, since that night, Tyson and Owen will only sleep in the fort.
Here is our dinner, all prepared. It tasted excellent, I think we will do this more, even without it being a campout. The boys ate it all, even Gavin, and he has been picky lately.

Here is Gavin eating happily. He was having a great night.
Tyson and Owen made short work of their dinner.

For dessert, we made teddy graham s'mores. We let the boys cook their own marshmallows, then we put them between the teddy grahams with a chocolate chip. The candles were just small leftover candles from a pack we bought a while ago.

They actually cooked up better then we thought they would. A little bit black most of the time(and I hate burnt marshmallows), but they were small enough they tasted great.

I helped Gavin with his. He had a lot of fun, and even did some of them almost by himself.
Tyson and Owen got to do their own s'mores, and they did a great job. Sure, they ate more than they actually cooked, but it was all about having fun.

What campout, even indoors, would be complete without a roaring campfire? Thanks to a mac app and a connection to the tv, the boys sat around the fire and we sang songs, told stories and read some of their favorite books.

We sure did have a lot of fun. I dont know that we will be camping outdoors any time soon (maybe clint can with the older boys) but it sure was a fun family night. The best part was the kids were in bed by 8 and we toasted marshmallows and watch a movie.

On a side note kenna has been walking now for about two weeks. she is getting really good at it but here is a little video of her walking at the beginning, she can go all around the room now.
