Boys Backyard Campout
Ahh, our yearly boys backyard campout. Normally we only have a few friends over but this time around we decided to have all the boys in our co-op come so they could get to know one another a bit better (there are new families joining). NINE boys total were here and I believe they all had a blast. We had the three oldest ones in the small tent and the 5-8 year olds in the bigger tent. It worked well.
Here is how it went down. Arrival, wrestling in the grass, pizza time, scooter riding out front, name game, glow sticks, bike tricks by Eddie Roman (all but 2 boys were jumped over), fire and marshmallows (both holding equal value), tent time accompanied by Africa stories (Eddie just arrived home from there), and finally star gazing as they eagerly looked for the meteorite shower, which was a bit disappointing. I think a few of the boys were waiting for the sky to fall!
Best buddies!
The whole gang!
Maybe we should invest in a portable fire pit!
Marshmallows aflame!
Stories strait from Africa!
Cartoon time.
She was exhausted! We left her in her run most of the time and she barked furiously for being left out.
