Backyard Camping

Our evening included a smashing game of 'Go Fish,' chocolate chip cookies, (as evidenced by Madeline's face) and everyone making a wish on their favorite star. Of course, mine was to have our daddy back safe and soon.

Well the kids love to camp, but it's a lot of work. So we figured a backyard campout would work for all of us. It made setup and cleanup a breeze. Also, the whole top of the tent is net so we had a great view of the stars. There's nothing like a Cache Valley sky at night.

Always wielding a weapon...

OK, so Madeline has a new obsession with sleeping bags. She was so happy to be in it, that she literally would not get out. We cajoled and bribed her to come out to take a picture with us (see above) and she absolutely would not have it. So cute.

I'm lovin' the pix. A young man to protect his sisters; a ballerina and a sleeping bag protector. I will also wish on a star to bring Daddy home safely. I love all of you. GA Jean
