Summer is an Indoor Camp-out.

When Gram and Pop went camping we had our own little camp-out inside.

It truly wasn't much this year, but maybe the memory will be enough to spark interest in the future for continuing this tradition.

I had wanted a pretend fire and oven-roasted marshmallows, but the hour was too late for any creative fire endeavors and we found the marshmallows were all gone.  Maybe next year.

So for this year we gathered around in a little circle by the boys' tiny tent...eating rainbow licorice and playing games.

Then we went to bed in our own beds because that's the beauty of having little ones--the traditions can start out quite simple and maybe someday evolve into something more...
