Roughing It, sort of

Last weekend, Dan and Finley went camping!! Now it was only in a town park 5 minutes from our house, but they did sleep in a tent overnight outside so I'm pretty sure that counts as camping :)

Organized by the town recreation department, the boys (and another father/son pair we're friends with) grilled hot dogs for dinner,  dug in the sand, played in the water at the beach, watched bigger kids play flashlight tag, and roasted s'mores over the campfire before calling it a night and waking up to donuts for breakfast.  What a night! Dan reported that Finley slept well and that was probably due in part to the fact that it stays light so late that he didn't go to sleep until after 10.  The most fun for the kids, according to the dads, was going in and out of our tent and Finley's friend Henry's tent.  Finley got pretty good at zipping up the fly to keep out the bugs and remembering the "no shoes in the tent" rule.
A successful first camping experience! Finley did inform me, though, that we'll need to buy a bigger tent so Dagny and I can join them next year....
