Camping In

Yesterday I wanted to do a fun date night with Michael because we don't get to do a fun date night that very often. I had a lot of fun things planned for us to do and really could not wait for him to get home from work to do them all. First, Hope got all pretty and cute (another fun girl time for us) and then when Michael got home I made him get the tent that we have in our car out and both of us set it up in our room. We did have to move a couple things around the room to get it to fit in the room but it was a lot of fun still. Hope didn't know what to think of the tent at first and just gave us this look of, "you two are strange," it was just too cute! Once we got the tent all up and all of our sleeping things inside we watched a movie and played a card game too. It was a lot of fun and Hope loved being in the tent which I was really happy about. I guess this was good practice for her for the next time that we go camping for real.Here Hope is getting all comfortable in the tent. I'm really glad that the sound of her walking on the floor of the tent didn't scare her and she did have a fun of ton going in and out of it.She is just so spoiled that she even got to bring her pillows that she sleeps with and have her own area in the tent.But since she just loves to snuggle up with you she didn't stay with her pillow at all. She did take a great nap in the tent and then was wide awake and wanting to play when it was time to go to sleep. She is so funny; I did let her play for a little bit but did get her to settle back down to go to sleep (several hours later). I really can not wait to see what she will do on a really camping trip. I'm also really glad that Michael had a lot of fun and we could just do something different together as a family.
