Camping Trip

We have been trying to take the girls camping for quite a while now.  Seems like every time we plan a trip, something happens....the weather is usually the culprit, taking a turn for the worse.  Well, it happened yet again.  We had planned a trip to the lake and it ended up raining so much that the area was under a flash flood watch.  So, we decided to go camping in the back yard.  We made smores in the firepit and pitched the tent in the back yard.  Once it got dark, Leah lasted a total of 5 minutes and said that she didn't like all the noises outside and she was going in (Daddy was already there).  Ella and I lasted until around midnight when it began to lightning.  It was just heat flashes of it, but that was enough for her to pack it up and bring it in.  Here are a few pix of our "camping trip."
