Friday Night Campout!

We had a surprise for the Royals at bedtime last night! We told the Princess, the Prince, and the Knight to get their sleeping bags because it was a special night. Here is Princess with all of her night-time things!
Here is the Prince and the Knight with their night-time things. The Prince did not want to stop for a photo!

Here is my little Knight with a curious kitty! The Knight was so excited!!!!
So, do you think 3 kids can sleep in this little bag?
First, it is time to sweep the deck!

Some assembly required! The kids put the poles together for the TENT! That's right! The kids got to sleep outside last night in the Prince's tent!

The Campers were so excited!!!!!!

Here are the three little campers!


Of course they did not sleep out there all by themselves! We let them play until about 10:00 or so and then DadOf3 went out to sleep with them. The tent was right outside our living room. With the windows open, we could hear everything. There was a lot of running in and out, but they had a great time! I got a Get-Out-Of-Tent free card because I don't sleep well these days as it is. DadOf3 delivered my little Knight to me around 2:00AM. He got too cold to sleep there through the night so he came to bed with me. We were all up this morning at 8:00AM - tired but happy! It is always a fun time when the tent comes out!

Oh what fun..
We love tent camping.. ONLY at the end of July early Aug.. the zipper on our tent that we have had for the last 6 years broke.. there are two doors the one door broke the 2nd year we had it and the other zipper just broke.. So we are in need of a new tent.. Trying to find a super big one that fits a ton of people like the one we had is hard though.

My husband did the same thing last Sat. night with our 4,7 and 11 year old and my niece(7). A 3 man tent,
the 11 year old came in early because it was a little crowded:)
