Backyard camping

These two stayed busy for hours yesterday in the tent we set up in the backyard. Our tent stands on its own without stakes, so we moved it around as the shady patches in our yard changed with the position of the sun. At one point it became necessary to put all of the stuffed animals in the tent. And when I say ALL of the stuffed animals, I mean ALL. My kids aren't old enough to sleep outside in the backyard yet by themselves, but I imagine this could be fun when they're older as long as they don't get scared. For now we just play. Have any of you tried it with your kids?

Hope everyone had a great weekend! And if you're in the states, enjoy the holiday today!
