At the beginning of the summer Cody and I talked about having a family camp out night every Friday if the weather was nice, and we were actually home. Well now that summer is half over, we finally had our first family camp out night, and it was SO MUCH FUN!! We started out the evening eating pizza and watching a movie. (I actually attempted a Chicago style pizza this time around. A great friend recommended her recipe) After the movie we headed outside, and the boys built a campfire. The boys love gathering sticks to help Daddy. The boys played for a bit, and we made s'mores. Eli doesn't enjoy eating s'mores because his hands get messy, but gobbles them up if someone else will hold it:) After s'mores the lightning bugs were out. This was the first time the boys have caught lightning bugs since they were actually awake (and outside) when it was dark. They had a BLAST!! We finally had to cut them off from catching anymore because it was getting almost impossible to open the jar without one flying away. Then we read stories in the tent and went to bed. I will definitely lock this away in my memory box!
Boys and their love for sticks:)
Yes, this daddy did just have a spinal tap earlier that morning, and still camped out with us:)
