Zach promised Sierra that they would go camping in the backyard this weekend. Sierra had not forgotten about it and had been reminding him every night. Denny and Lauren gave the kids an amazing tent for Christmas last year. The kids were extremely helpful in assisting Zach putting together their backyard camp.
Ok.....real talk.....they were into helping for about 5 minutes. Then Desmond decided the poles made great "ninja-chucks", Sierra did her own little dance moves, Sully thought the tent cover was an excellent blanket for tramping on.
Somehow Team Steele still managed to get our tent put together. Desmond was especially excited. We knew this because he kept running out of the tent saying, "I'm sooooo excited to go camping!!!"
We built a campfire, told scary stories, and bedded down for the night. I headed in around 10 p.m. to be close to Sullivan. About midnight, we had a little scare with one clap of thunder and heat lightning. However, both kids slept through the night and actually made it all the way to 5 a.m. before crawling back into their own beds. Pretty impressive for our first backyard camping if you ask me, but then again I biased. :)
