Aimee and I like to go camping, and we did a fair amount before we had Eva with our friends at Outlanders. We are hoping to go again sometime of course, and we want Eva to be ready and excited. So I had the crazy idea of setting up the tent and having a mock campout. I was originally going to set the tent up on the patio until I realized that it was August in Florida. So into the living room it went.
Eva was very excited! She had a blast just going in and out of the tent entrance and climbing up on the air mattress (okay, so we cheated a little bit). We cooked hot dogs over an open propane flame courtesy of my grill and had some mac and cheese on the side.
Then as it got darker, we kept the house lights off and only used my lantern (battery powered, don't worry) for light. It was fun and felt like hurricane training at the same time. Before we turned in for the night, we made s'mores too, and they were great. What kind of camping trip would this be without hot dogs and s'mores?
We had a blast. Eva was a little too excited to actually fall asleep in the tent... but I think she'll get used to it and will love camping in the future.
