Camping in the living room

The boys packed up a backpack and announced that they wanted to go camping. I figured that since it was so gloomy outside lately we would stay home and go camping. Contrary to popular belief, we DO own a tent and I DO know how to put it up. We put up the tent, had smores, went for a bear hunt, stayed in our PJ's for a good portion of the day, and then the boys went swimming (took a bath) in the lake.

For our bear hunt we hid a bear around the house and the boys grabbed their hunting weapons and we sang, "We're going on a bear hunt! We're not scared! Gonna catch a big one!" Then we went searching for our bear. The boys could have played forever and I only wish our flashlights worked--that would have made it even better.
