Camp Wilmo

Last Friday night, we camped for the first time. We set up two tents in the backyard, one that would fit all of us tightly, and a back up in case somebody needed more space during the night. It was a warm evening, and with all four of us in one tent we stayed nice and toasty. Steve and I slept on an air mattress in the center, and the kids each had a cozy "pod" on either side of us. Sam enjoyed playing with the flashlight and telling stories, and Athena liked bouncing on the mattress. Everyone was asleep by around 10pm, which is when the racoons starting going down the slide. Next time we'll wake Sam up so he can see them. All in all, a very restful, fun night.

Oh, and in case you couldn't tell, Sam has finally figured out how to smile for the camera. Those of you who received copies of his preschool picture last year will be glad to know that!
