We planned on taking the kids on their first real camping trip this Fall, but work & weather have gotten in the way. So we decided to camp in our back yard in the meantime.
We cooked our dinner outside on the fire and roasted marshmallows for smores.
I bought junk food that I usually don't allow so they loved that. Hey, at least the hot dogs were nitrate free. They got a nice chemical high from the Cheetos & Oreos & were wired for the night.
We listened to music, told stories & looked at the stars. And then we were grateful that we lived in an area just country enough to do this in our back yard! It wasn't true camping, however, because when we got tired we went in the house & slept in our warm, comfy beds.
It was so much fun that we decided to start doing it quite often. Talk about an easy, low key getaway! If you turn your back to our house, all you see are woods & you'd never know you weren't camping at Blue River!
