Steve and I both love to camp and are looking forward to doing it with the kids. However, with two toddlers it just seems like something that will have to wait until they're a little older. But Steve was determined to let Molly have a taste of the experience before our warm weather left us, so he decided to set the tent up in the backyard for a little urban camping. You'll notice the extension cord in the picture above that is running into the tent for Molly's night light.
Steve used some sheet metal from the shop at work, and combined with a concrete flower pot he rigged up a "fire pit". The made Jiffy Pop over the fire and roasted marshmallows for smores. I can not tell you how excited Molly was. I think the picture below says it all. It wasn't posed... I snapped it quickly while she watched Daddy cook up the Jiffy Pop.
Unfortunately the rain started coming down hard around 4:30 in the morning, waking the campers up. So they came in and finished the night in Molly's room with Daddy sleeping on the floor. All in all, I'd say it was successful! When I asked Molly what her favorite part of camping was, she said "all the parts".
