Camping....Something Jon and I did in our prior lives very frequently. There was such nostalgia breaking out the good ole Moss Tent. This tent was one of my 1st major purchases in college. I felt like it was a good choice seeing just how well this old friend has held up. We have neglected her! Keeping her locked up in a plastic bin for about 6 years under the stairs. But she came out looking and smelling great...And very thankful for being outside again after so many years.
So the story goes...It is supper time and we are eating pizza at 7pm. Daddy says "lets camp tonight!" Chapin says "yeah Daddy lets camp." So the process rolls along. Find the tent, find the sleeping bags, etc. Jon decides to pull the mattresses from the bunk beds in the cottage. Great idea...Very comfortable and fit perfectly in the tent. Oh and as you can see in the pictures we didn't stray to far from the house. First of all, we really didn't have the time and second of all, we were playing it safe if for some reason Chapin didn't take to it.
Sleep was not that restful, but the excitement was plentiful. Chapin had a hard time going to sleep because he was so darn excited. The top of the Moss is all screen so gazing out to the evening sky was cool. So down late he went and early to rise with the sun. All worth it...Making us believe we need to do more of this camping thing for we do miss it. Early bedtime for all tonight!
