A Campout... In Our Living Room

Last night for Family Home Evening, we had a campout in our living room. We built a tent out of PVC and large scraps of cloth. It was kind of like the house we built in an earlier post- "This is the House that JAT Built." Just shaped a little bit differently.

Jeremy built a campfire with balloons and glow sticks inside of the neon flames.





We had hot dogs for dinner and after, we "roasted" marshmallows over the fire.







Jeremy heated them up in the microwave and we put them together with graham crackers and chocolate to make s'mores.





Jeremy put together some more glow sticks and we had fun taking pictures of the kids playing with them.




The kids fell asleep in the tent. Jeremy wasn't feeling so well, so he and I went to sleep in our room. Early in the morning, Jr. came and joined us, so by the morning, Nichole was the only one left in the tent.




Good family activity.

  3. What an amazing family activity! And I am glad that you have pictures. A lot of things that you guys remember from your childhood is because of photos that I took when you were little.
