As I am typing this, my Alex is outside in the backyard in our tent with the three girls attempting to sleep. He came home from work this evening with a bag of s'more supplies so after dinner we made a fire out back, roasted marshmallows and then got the girls ready for bed. Its the first time Addison has slept in the tent since she was about 5 months old, so lets call it her "first camping experience." At any moment I am expecting Alex to come back in here with one or more of them that couldn't stop squirming.... we'll see what happens! I think he is such a great dad for sleeping out in the back with them. Oh, in case you were wondering Donovan and I are staying in the house. I decided that it would be a much better experience for them if they don't have to worry about Donovan waking them up and keeping them from getting any sleep. ;)
Troy camped out a couple weeks ago with the oldest 4, and it actually went really well. i stayed inside with the younger too. MAYBE next time Gage will join them for the fun. I hope they have a great time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dad!! Those are memories your girls will never forget! Did they all make it through the night?
