Campout... rain delay

We decided to campout a few weekends ago because the forecast looked great (0% chance of rain and not a cloud in sight). So, Matt put up the tent (left off the rain cover, cause why would we need that with a 0% chance of rain?!?) and we got all the beds and blankets set up inside. We made hotdogs  and s'mores on the fire pit for dinner. We caught lightning bugs. Seemed like a perfect campout. Until around 11pm just as the girls were finally settling down to sleep, I feel a drop. At first, I didn't know what was happening, then a mini-downpour of rain happened. Just enough to get everything in the tent wet. I took the girls inside and Matt scrambled to get the rain cover on. But, the damage was already done. And of course, Avery refused to go back out in the tent after that. She was half asleep and just wanted to sleep in her dry bed inside. So, that's where we finished the campout... inside in our beds while our blankets dried out... because there was no more rain after that 5 minute shower. Someone really didn't want us to campout!

There is no easy way to eat a s'more

So yuumy!

Watching kindles and relaxing

Scary backyard monsters

The next morning - Matt said he put the cover on upside down and backwards - ha!
