once we got the tent set up it was great (had to remember how the thing went together!)
we used the grill outside for hamburgers and had corn-on-the-cob and baked beans with them. then we used the hot coals for s'mores.
i have not been educating my kids early enough, they had to ask what s'mores were. when i explained them to xander he said "oh right, right. we had those at school." well my dear child, there is a huge difference between s'mores by oven and s'mores by campfire, and once you have campfire, you can never go back!
we climbed into the tent around 9:30, and at xander's request watched a dvd on our little player. x-men was his choice. i shared an air mattress with cassidy. she didn't slow down until close to 11:00. and xander managed to stay awake for the entire movie. but we all slept well in the tent and didn't even wake til 8:00am. it was great.
i'll camp out any time, especially when it is in my own backyard.

It's great to start camping when the kids are little! By the time they're into YM and YW, it will be old hat.
