Camp out

I have promised Mollie and Kate for over a year I would camp out with them in the backyard. This stemmed from a time Mollie spent the night in Hannah's room when she was their nanny. Apparently they watched movies all night long! :) well Friday night was finally the long anticipated night. We borrowed a fire pit so we could roast (or burn as Mollie preferred) marshmallows (thank you Lala and Joe!) They ate many marshmallows. Katherine preferred to eat them raw, since they got too messy when you roast them. After the fire died down, we got in the tent. Kate was begging to get in the tent all night! We climbed in an I covered them both up with several blankets, one on each side of me. They love to hear stories "from when I was a little girl" (also something I believe Hannah started...) so I told them some stories from when my family would go camping. They fell asleep after a few minutes to the sound of music from my phone :) They woke up a few times in the night cold, but they insisted on staying out all night long! It got down to about 48 degrees around 2 a.m. At one point I heard Katherine's sweet little voice say "Sarah?" and I was thinking she was going to ask to go in and then she said "I love you..." Absolutely warmed my heart! :) I look forward to many camping trips in the future, and maybe one day we will travel further than the backyard!

Making s'mores!
