Camping Indoors

Earlier in the week we had talked about going camping this weekend. But then it started looking like there would be bad weather all weekend so we didn't reserve a camp site. Bummer because now it looks like the weather will be nice. But have you ever tried to find a camp site on the Friday of Memorial weekend? Ha! I'm amazed no one laughed at me for asking. I called all the camp sites I know of within a 2 hour radius of here and everyone was full. Nicholas was so diappointed. He absolutely loves to go camping.

Later tonight I was talking with Stuart when I heard a rustling sound in the other room. I peeked in to find that Nicholas had set up his play pop-up tent in the living room, complete with sleeping bag and flashlight. He said, "We're ready to go camping!" and he invited me in his tent. Now, this is a child-sized tent and I'm not child-sized so it was quite humourous as I tried to get in it. But we had a good time pretending to camp and roast marshmallows. I'm so glad he knows how to turn lemons into lemonade!
