Summer Camp Out

Costco had these great tents on sale and after shopping around we decided it was too good of a deal to pass up.  It's a 10-man tent, but we figure that really means 6 or 7 and we already have 4 people.  Throw in another kid or some friends who want to come along and we should have no problem filling it up!  We decided to set it up and check it out one day and then decided we should have a family camp out!

 Ethan and Carter both loved the tent and loved playing in it.  Once we got Carter down for the night we headed out to the tent to watch Up! and eat popcorn and candy.  Ethan thought it was so fun to hang out in the tent as a family.  And then the MASSIVE thunderstorm hit.  I mean, I don't remember EVER having thunder and lightning like that in Washington.  You could barely hear the movie!  But we made it all the way through the movie and got to test out how waterproof the tent really was!

 After the movie I decided to move inside since I was worried the power would go out and the baby monitor wouldn't work and Carter was inside by himself.  But Ethan made it through the whole night with his dad and we still had lots of fun!
This is just a random picture of our head of cabbage that came from our garden...It doesn't really fit in with any post, so here it is!  We had a good turnout from our garden this year and are looking forward to another harvest next year!
