Back on October 4th we were registered to attend the Great Garland Camp Out, which was a overnight camp out in Audubon Park here in Garland. We are so excited as Mason was going to go with us, but due to low enrollment, it was cancelled at the last minute. Try explaining that to a 6 year old, so we did the next best thing, we had a camp out in the back yard. Vernon and Mason pitched the tent in the back yard, we borrowed an air mattress from some dear friends, and had plenty of blankets in the tent just off the back porch. We built a fire in the fire pit, roasted hot dogs on the "campfire" and roasted marshmallows to make smores. Mason loves smores, and had the best time that weekend.
It got down into the upper 50's that night, and got quite cold after the fire went out. Mason put his fleece on sometime during the night, and was very cold when we got up - (as soon as the birds woke up), when I asked him why he didn't wake me up when he got cold. his response was "I just wanted to stay in the tent Nana."
He had the best time, and so did we. We will most assuredly be making that a tradition.
