Camping in the backyard is perfect because you don't have to pack everything into the car, you have access to clean bathrooms and running water, and Mom gets to sleep in the house with the baby while Dad roughs it in the tent. :o)
We thought it wouldn't be much of a camping trip if we didn't have a camp fire so we gathered some wood, from the brush pile that is sitting on the edge of the property. We checked into the fire codes and built a fire pit. There are a ton of large rocks in a pile on the property too.
So here is the pit with Jared's example of a tee pee fire. We read all about them in his scout book.
Daddy & Dallin cutting up the wood for the fire. I think the more fires we have the smaller the brush pile for snakes to hide in. The one thing that does not appeal to me about living in the country. I don't mind the little garden snakes, we have a very nice one that lives under the front porch, I just don't like the idea of the poisonous ones. So the less hiding spots the better.
Darcy helps with cutting up the sticks.
Boys were just made to be out in the dirt. It makes them happy. Look at that face you can see it, the happy glow that is hidden under all the dirt.
(Astrolorp)Ms. Chickies were very curious about what we were up to. They are a lot of fun to have around. We are now averaging 6-8 eggs per day and my garden is loving having them in it. And the chickies are loving all the bugs.

We roasted Hot Dogs and Hobo Dinners. They were super yummy. If we had planned ahead we would have had marshmallows and chocolate but we don't plan.

It was all in all a great adventure that I am sure we will repeat often this summer.
How is your summer going? I hope you are able to do a few fun things.
Love to you All!
