Camping with Connor

Saturday night, Carly spent the night with Nonnie so Matt and I got to spend some good one-on-one time with Connor. We decided to go camping with him. We pulled out a tent we've had for 2+ years (still in the box), an air mattress, sheets, sleeping bags, pillows, and flashlights as well as all the fixins for roasting hot dogs and s'mores over the fire and headed out to find the perfect spot to camp for the night.
Once we found it, Matt set up the tent and I prepared the sleeping quarters and then we enjoyed a good 'ole campfire dinner topped off with s'mores. Afterwards, Connor and I had a fun time catching fireflies. Just before bed, Matt and Connor played their guitars as we all sang a collection of campfire songs.
The weather was perfect that night - not too hot, and not too chilly so we all slept comfortably. We awoke to the sounds of birds chirping and a beautiful sunrise. Who would've thought camping would be so much fun...all in our own backyard!
