Camping Trip

At preschool Allie's classroom has been set up with a camping theme. Last week they made these adorable backpacks out of garbage sacks and ribbon and went on a hike. She has been talking about camping a lot and was so excited about going on a hike even though it was just to the playground I heard they found many things along the way. The pictures she drew are of a parrot and kangaroo and I can actually make out a parrot and kangaroo. Her drawings are getting better she defiantly is artistic. This week was the last week of the camping theme and so on Wednesday they got to make smores for the snack. She wanted to set up her tent in the family room and since we never got a chance to do it this summer I said to go ahead and do it. Nick has helped Scott put up the tent several times but was able to do it all by himself this time. I was very impressed. Both Allie and Nick were going to sleep in the tent but Allie wasn't quite ready and ended up sleeping in her bed. We haven't gone camping in awhile Nick has spent a couple of nights at Barton Park with Uncle Jon but as a family we haven't tried it since Allie came home. It would be so much easier with a trailer but maybe next summer we can try it.
