So we decided that we would have our first family campout! We had it about three or four weeks ago! The weather was natsy but it didn't really bother us! We had fun making tinfoil dinners and then spending time together as a family. The boys thought it was an awesome adventure to sleep in a tent!
Picture of our campsite! Hey! I never said that it was our first
outdoors campout! This pregnant lady doesn't sleep on the ground! She prefers her mattress and nice warm house! The boys were super excited when Anth pulled out the tent and let them help set it up. They had their bags in and were running around in their like crazy! They got out the camp chairs and placed them in front of the fire!
You guessed it! Our fire! It kept us nice and toasty! It did get a little too warm but we just opened the windows and listen to the beautiful outdoors....rodeo finals, complete with twangy western music!
Our wonderful and delicious dinners! I completely cheated and cooked them in the oven before hand! We kept them warm on top of the stove. Anth and I had the traditional tinfoil dinner with hamburger, potatoes, and carrots. I added soy sauce to mine and thought it tasted awesome! The boys got a hot dog tinfoil pocket! They enjoyed eating hot dogs and french fries that been wrapped in tinfoil! We spread a blanket on the floor and ate on it so that it seemed more like camping. We were dog sitting so we even had some wild animals to keep away from our food!
After finishing dinner we decided to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks, Hot-Air Balloon Adventure. The boys then snuggled into their sleeping bags. Overall it was a lot of fun and something that we might do often to help break up the monotony of winter/spring/summer weather that we often inflicts our town!

That looks like so much fun! I bet your boys had such a blast. I am coming up to Idaho on the 29th and will be there for about a week, so we need to get together and chat!
That's awesome! It's the perfect way to camp in Idaho!

Good idea, I can see why the kids were so excited! Fun!
Hey! What a great idea! For my birthday we WERE going to go camping but it's supposed to be thunderstorming that night. It snowed today actually!! Wonderful weather (sarcasm). I'm sooo happy for you that you're having a girl!! Little Abigail has been loads of fun! Don't get me wrong, the boys were fun too but this is different, thats all. I'm glad I can keep up with you guys through your blog! I need your address so I can send you something girly!
How fun! That will be a great memory for your boys. Having an indoor campout is sometimes the best kind! Love it!
For my back-drop I push my couch out from infront of the window (leaving space for me to sit infront of the window and use the light coming in the window behind me to brighten my pictures) and drape a blanket over the back of it of the couch. Then I just place a bean bag or pillow underneath abby or the boys.
What a fun thing to do. I bet your boys loved it. Hey that wood burning stove that you have was built by my husband and his family. We owned "Bicentennial Stove" company back in the 80's. My husband and his dad and brother designed that stove and we had a manufacturing plant in Utah where we built them and sold them. Hey if you ever decide to take it out of your house let me know cuz my husband would love to get it from you. Anyway . . . hope you have a fun summer.
