camping out with ryan

earlier in the summer we promised natalie and russell that we would let them camp out in the back yard with dylan. you may remember the day that was to happen, natalie was sick and instead, they "camped out" inside the living room. they still had fun but of course, it wasn't the same.

last friday, we invited our older nephew ryan over to camp out with us. it was a hot night but they had lots of fun making s'mores, eating them, playing UNO and reading Toy Story books in the tent with a flashlight, before they eventually went to sleep (which was REALLY late).
