Jeff and Lily are sleeping in a tent in the backyard. I have just come inside from the campfire portion of the camping trip.
The firewood I bought from the grocery store was wet. It took us several hours to get it really burning and by that time we were ready for bed. We were able to burn some marshmallows and make smores.
I was a little leery of having a camp fire in the backyard. Instead of dirt we have sand underneath our grass. We live two blocks from the Gulf of Mexico. The previous owners of this house had an above ground pool. It was blown down by Katrina and grass has not been planted where the pool used to be. Therefore, we have a patch of sand smack dab in the middle of our backyard. Perfect for campfires.
I really love camping in the backyard. Especially when we eat dinner in the house, and I get to sleep in my bed. Best camping trip ever!

I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

That is my idea of camping. I think once it warms up here I will suggest it to Jake. Then he will beg Dad to do it. First though I have to buy the tent, so that Jake will be enticed to use it, I mean to play in it! HA!
That is the perfect way to camp. No waking up in the morning on an air mattress that, somehow, lost its air in the middle of the night.
Well, that would be the only way Husband could get me to go camping to! Well done...
