Camping!

Ok, before you think, "Wait--they packed up their two young kids and went CAMPING? Are they nuts??" remember that we practically live in a forest, so....we set up camp in our backyard! After Ava went to bed, we made a fire (Chuck and I built the firepit today while the kids were napping), made smores, and let Aiden play with a flashlight and the tent. It was really fun and Aiden loved it. We're looking forward to doing it again next weekend when Liz comes to celebrate our birthday! Aiden particularly loved the marshmallows and chocolate bars:) He cried when it was time for bed, poor guy.

On a side note, we are all under the weather--the kids are not feeling great and Chuck has a killer cold. Hopefully we get well soon!

(PS--I know that Aiden is wearing the SAME SHIRT in every picture I post lately. That is because he flips his lid if he doesn't get to wear this Lightning McQueen shirt...EVERY SINGLE DAY. Getting him dressed for school (in a polo shirt) is like World War 3, seriously. So I pick my battles on non-school days;)
