Tyler really wanted to go camping over Memorial Day weekend, but we didn't get it together soon enough to actually go somewhere, so he decided to set the tent up in the woods. The above picture is taken from our dining room. Can you see the tent back there?
Lots of ferns, little bushes, and even some huckleberry bushes!
Tyler took all four boys out there to get them settled down on Friday night. I went out about 30 minutes later, and all I could hear was a party going on. Wrestling, steamrollers, screaming, etc. Devon ended up coming back inside with me and sleeping in his bed. It was much too rowdy for him to fall asleep, and it was already an hour past his bedtime.
Every time that Tyler's family goes camping, they get hostess donuts to eat in the morning. So, of course, we had to have some of those. The donuts have become a tradition in our family whenever we go camping, simply to hold the boys over until the real breakfast is ready. They are lifesavers. Donut crumbs in the sleeping bags are the only downside. But those shake out okay, so it's usually not a big deal.
We had some friends over during the weekend and had a little barbecue with them. They boys love having their friends over to play, and the sun actually came out for a little bit! We wish we could have gone "real" camping with family in Idaho, but we had a fun weekend anyway.

Family traditions are the best. We had some powdered sugar donuts, too, although not Hostess.
