Camp out

The kids woke up at Hotel Burch to find breakfast menus hanging on their doorknobs. While they were eating their breakfast, we told them all about our staycation.


Today we went camping. We started out making our living room look like a forest by adding leaves and vines. We spent the morning swimming at a local indoor swimming pool and had a picnic lunch.


















This evening, we roasted hotdogs and marshmellows in our fireplace and watched the episode of PeeWee's Playhouse where he goes camping with Cowboy Curtis. While the kids got into their pj's, Mike and I hung christmas light "stars" and put wilderness noises on the stereo. They all fell asleep in their sleeping bags after telling a few stories.


(If you noticed Eli missing in the photos, it's because he made good on his semi-regular schedule of being sick while we go camping. We can almost bet on it, at this point.)
