It helped that the crickets' volume was turned to extra loud. Our tent has two open panels on the top so the moon and stars were our nightlights. We told some tame ghost stories. We had a camping dinner of grilled fish and camping breakfast of pancakes and scrambled eggs.
Jia slept really, really well! (I wish I could say the same, and perhaps I'll remember the air mattress for next time!)
The girls were SO excited about backyard camping.
We thought long and hard about where to put the tent. We have a more wild area of the yard but the likelihood of being bombarded by black walnuts all night was quite high, as was the lumpiness of the ground. We settled on the flattest, least lumpy spot...under the swingset!
I think this will be a Labor Day tradition!

Jane, you are too much!
AWESOME!!!!
Next time can Ella and Zoe join you too, so they also have that sort of experience : )
Did Willa join you? Sounds fun.
What fun! I would imagine camping in the city is much different than country camping:)
Hey! May and Ophelia have the same Coleman sleeping bag as Jia. Next time, come to the Rocky Mountains to go camping...
sounds like you had tons of fun!!!!
