My dad, Granddaddy to the kids, gave us money for some camping supplies for Christmas. We have been wanting to start camping adventures with the kids and feel they are at a good age. They were so excited. It arrived on the 30th just in time for a New Year's Eve backyard camp out.
I ended up very sick for two days and could not participate. David, the hero dad, still followed through with the plan. They grilled hot dogs, roasted marshmallows, went on a 'moon' walk and played card games.
The kiddos had a blast and slept well, even through the New Year's fireworks that shook our building.
Happy New Year!
