And then while I was driving I couldn't help but notice the crazy dark clouds in the distance and wondered if it was going to ruin our plans.
It did, but sadly it didn't have to.
About an hour into it the wind came up hard and fast. It was bad enough that we started to take everything down fearing it would begin to rain. Tess and Lori, however, decided to play through it (the wind not the clean up).
The saddest part is once the wind died down it was actually a great night. We didn't put up the tents again, instead decided to make it a big family sleepover.
The adults talked on the porch for most of the evening while the kids played. Then Randy and Jared made a fire so the kids could roast marshmallows,
[just she look like she's in the most peaceful kind of sleep.]
Afterward, after everyone was good and tired, we figured out our sleeping arrangements (I was fortunate enough to share a room with Lori) and then fell delightfully to sleep on our air mattresses. At least until the loud kids woke us up in the morning.
It wasn't quite the campout we had last year, but it was a fun family sleepover nevertheless.

Even though we got winded-out and even though I slept terribly, I still think it was a good time.
It was kinda sad that we had to sleep inside but still fun that we had a family sleepover! The kids had a blast. I could've slept better, so that part was par for the course as far as camping and sleepovers go! It was nice to sit on the porch and talk all night. I'm so glad you still came even though Adam was sick.
How do you capture such perfect fire photos? I'm so jealous!
Those fire photos are so great. Did Kathy just have all those sleeping bags on hand?
