Family Sleepover "Campout indoors"


































This weekend I decided it was time for another Family Sleepover! Lately I have wanted spring, bonfires, flowers, warm breezes, picnics, birds, and camping..... So I decided to have a camp out! When I was little my Mom would take Jaclyn my sister and I to Chatfield resivor and we would set our tent up and blow up air mattresses!!! We would go for walks and learn about the birds, trees, rocks, etc! My Mom would make camping so fun for us. She would make the best food on the camp fire! Dinty Moore soup and biscuits, hot dogs, burgers, pankcakes, eggs, bacon, you name and we ate it!!! So I decided to try to make our day half as fun as my Mom did. We packed a picnic and the kids and I went on a hike. I tried to teach the kids about birds and bugs.... haaha I didn't really know that much. So I just said random stuff. We found lady bugs and boy did they find them fascinating! Cash could not close his mouth... WOW!!! Hahah the lady bug ended up on Cash face he was laughing so hard we all were! Belle loved the sticks she would march in front of us saying, "follow me"! She found a rock and kept calling it the brocilli rock and she also found a tree that was knocked over and she was so disturbed.... She kept trying to pull it up. It wasn't budging so he forgot about it! The kids played in a hollowed out tree trunk. We then had our picnic! Our hike was a blast. We were wishing Monkey could have come but he had to study for his two test coming up. We went home and made my sister Natalie's bread!!! I have never made bread with yeast before and holy cow it was so good!!! Thank you Natalie! Then Monkey finally got done studying and we roasted turkey dogs and had a total camp fire dinner. Belle would eat the whole turkey dog and not her bun!! Then we made a tent and Belle picked out "Dispicable me" from the red box and we rosated marshmellows and had hot cocoa and smores! We had so much fun and I love camp outs! Even if they are inside!
