Oh how I love to go camping...

Inside our tent

Matthew, Anna and I tried having an indoor camp out today. First Matthew and I loaded up his backpack with important camping things like snacks, a sippy cup, a blanket, flashlight and book. Then we hiked all over the house til we got to our campsite (Anna was saving it for us). We made a tent with a sheet (a real tent would have been fun, but we had to leave ours in the states) and read stories around the campfire. That candle was our (non-lit) campfire...and yes, I know the campfire shouldn't really be in the tent. :)

Matthew loved playing with the flashlight and we spent a lot of time shining it around on the inside of our tent.

He even tried to light our "campfire" with the flashlight, but no luck.

Anna sort of liked hanging out in the tent. At least she didn't cry. Someday we'll go real camping, but maybe not until we leave Okinawa.

Oh how creative! I like it.

I don't camp with babies, no one sleeps that way, but pretending for a few hours would be fun, I might have to try it.
