Campout with Dad

Spencer decided he wanted to do a campout with the older 2 kids in the backyard. So they dragged out the tent and got to work.

Tate was so excited about the tent and did a great job helping. Ayden and Ellie got bored and ended up doing something else

Gotta love little helpers. After the tent was all set up, they wanted to start the campout right away, they didn't care it wasn't even close to bedtime!

Once it got dark, the kids got into PJs and we headed over to a neighbors house for s'mores. It was funny because the adults ended up doing the s'mores while the kids played. Who was it really for?! I love having neighbors and friends that we can do that with. Earlier in the day, Ellie was so excited about her campout that she told her friend Riley all about it. Riley begged her dad to do a campout with her, so he did!
Originally, Spencer was just going to let Ayden and Ellie sleep in the tent, but somehow Tate worked his way in there too. (notice that I have not mentioned me sleeping out with them. I preferred my comfy bed)

They all had a good time. Tate snuggled in with the older 2 and fell asleep right away while they talked and told stories. Sometime during the night, Tate ended up in bed with Spencer because he was cold. The next morning they were up bright and early, of course. They can't wait to do it again. Thank, Spencer for being a good daddy who will do this with his kids. They love you so much.
