Two weeks ago, Kevin and I decided we would finally go camping together. For a brief recap, Kevin is an Eagle Scout. I have not camped in a tent since I was two and my parents heard it was good for teaching toddlers potty training. I was nervous.
Unfortunately, two weekends ago the weather turned out to be not ideal (tornado watches, hail), so we decided not to venture out. This past weekend, we heard on Thursday that the temp was going to drop significantly with crazy winds on Friday. Not wanting to have to cancel yet again, Kevin and I came up with a compromise for Saturday night:
Yes, we camped in our backyard! We had to be up early for Palm Sunday, so it seemed like a good option. We went out to dinner with Kevin's extended family, came home, got ready for bed in our house, then slept under the stars. I have been informed that this is not truly "camping", though. Benton joined us, and other than wanting to snuggle on our air mattress throughout the night, he did great. I did enjoy it for the most part, so I think it is safe to say that this may happen again!
