2 of our brave children and a friend decided they wanted to enjoy this beautiful weather by sleeping outside in their tent. So while trying to get supper ready and with MUCH advice from them I got the tent set up on the back deck.
Off they went with iPod's and flashlights, 15 feet from the kitchen (roughing it I know). Life in the great outdoors was thrilling laying out under the stars and all
This lasted for about an hour- then I told them time to shut everything down for the night-
5 min later they came running inside saying that someone was in our back yard, because they heard a noise. Now I suppose that flashlights and iPods will keep folks out of your back yard.
Mind you I can throw a rock and hit about 20 houses from our yard. But they heard a noise and were convinced someone was out to get them. So off they went to their beds. However they promptly returned to our room asking if they could watch TV. maybe I will take them camping in the real woods, that should be enough material to write a novel.
So proud of my little explorers. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that they went back out there this morning to sit and play while I cooked breakfast. :-)
