Camping

...in the backyard.  This is the first for Ethan and the Billmans really.  We borrowed a tent from a friend and thought it would be fun for a Father/Son campout.  So are you wondering how it went?  Well despite coming home tired from a church picnic that evening, Ethan was TOO excited and couldn't wine down.  He was taking in all the outdoor-ness: the stars, the loud cicadas (?), the road noise.  So he kept flipping, tossing and turning and finally...the head banging.  Totally forgot about that one!  That is why we can't go camping and sleep together on the air mattress.  Oh my word.  Then came the downpour rain which I thought for sure they won't make it through the night.  But surprisingly, the rain calmed him down and soothed him to sleep. 

 

Then at 2:30 am I heard the sliding door and in came Brian and Ethan.  Apparently, Daddy couldn't sleep (and with set up at church in the morning) decided to come in and sleep in their own beds.  Haha.  Ethan woke up tired but happy and partially confused of where he actually felt asleep.  We may need to buy a bigger tent and try this again at a real camping location aka not home.  I guess we'll see...
