Campout with the family

This year we did our first campout of the summer in our backyard. We roasted hot dogs on the campfire and of course roasted marshmellos.
The kids had a lot of fun as we told some scary stories(kid scary stories:). And I taught the kids some songs that I used to sing as a little girl when my family went camping.
And all 7 of us attempted sleeping in the tiny tent that we have. I say 7 since our dog Bodie was in there with us of course, and I say attempted because around 12:30 Derek set up camp just outside the door of the tent and slept out there.
We did this over conference weekend and we talked to the kids about how all of King Benjamin's people came to hear the prophet speak, and they faced their tent doors toward the prophets voice. This was a great kick off to conference weekend. I love my family so much!!

What a fun idea Jen. I can't wait to have some sort of a yard to do that kind of stuff!
