Have we mentioned how much we LOVE our new neighborhood?
This weekend was the "Camp Out Under the Stars". All those interested set up tents in the soccer field area, hang out, play tennis, play on the playground or swim until 9:30ish. Then we roasted marshmallows for s'mores. Jason and I ended up helping with that process. Alia and Jason had two :-) Max and I don't like marshmallows so we had two marshmallow-free ones instead. After that, we went back to our little spot and looked up at the stars and relaxed. Eventually we made it into our tents and listened to Max talk 100 miles an hour (where does he get that from?) until he eventually fell asleep a little after 11 o'clock.
As is typical with camping and sleeping on the ground, we didn't really get that much sleep. We rolled out of our tents and enjoyed a little continental style breakfast ... bagels, muffins, fruit, etc. It was a great first camping experience for Max and Alia was thrilled to do it again. Jason is planning to take both kids for an overnight camp at an actual campsite in a few weeks. This was a great test run and a ton of fun.
So excited to get our tents set up. We loaded all of our supplies in the kids bike trailer and Jason rode it the block from our house. It was nice to just ride it right up to a spot and unload.
