Camping Lite

In an attempt to avoid reliving past mistakes (remember our inaugural camping trip last summer when Maddy and I ended up sleeping in the car?) we camped in the back yard on Saturday!  We had a wonderful time eating dinner outside, enjoying a fire and roasting marshmallows.  Maddy stayed up a bit later than usual, then we read books in the tent (only having to add in "one more book" with both parents) and she went to sleep peacefully.  Steve and I stayed up a couple more hours before joining Maddy in the tent, enjoying our beers by the fire, looking forward to our "real" camping trip next weekend!
