We were all jealous of Sarah and Riley going camping so we decided to have our own camping experience in our backyard. We just got a new tent so it was good practice for the kids and I. The weather was great until we decided to start cooking/burning hot dogs and marshmallows. Luckily under the apple tree we stayed dry. We had lightning and thunder most of the night and the kids were a little scared... too much War of the Worlds. I had to explain to them what lightning and thunder really is... and no, it does not "wake up" the alien monsters! It rained hard but the kids slept right through it. Molly was smart and stayed in the Tovey hotel next door. I need to purchase a cot or a real nice pad because even on soft grass is was not soft enough. I'm looking forward to hearing about how the Dodson's camping adventure turned out. I might be heading over to the Deschutes tomorrow if the river levels stay the same.

I think I'd have followed Molly's lead! Can't wait to see you guys!
We should have just stayed home and done the same thing. We got soaked with rain! The kids always enjoy it no matter what though.
