Recession Camping

Yep, you know we can't go long without a camping trip in our family. Well considering that CJ doesn't get home now until around 10PM every night, he is pretty wiped out. Also with our budget being a little tighter than normal, I decided that we could just pull out the camper and our tent and have an old fashion camping trip right in the backyard!

Our friends came over (who normally only tent camp) and they had a treat sleeping in our camper. My boys (who normally only camper camp) pitched a tent and slept in the tent with their dad all night. We roasted hotdogs on the campfire, and of course enjoyed smores all night long. Faith was good with some chips and baby marshmallows all night. Oh and of course me and girls "roughed it" sleeping in the comfort of our air-conditioned bedrooms-HA!
It was a fun evening and didn't cost any extra $$$$. Good memories were made and that is what counts the most :) Hope you all try it one day soon, your kids will love it.
