Tent

The kids had Easter money from their grandparents and when we went to the store to let them pick out their goodies, Daddy got an idea. He asked if they would all put their money together so that we could get a tent. I was surprised that he convinced them, especially Anna. We had yucky weather for a while after we bought it, so the kids were so excited to finally put it together. Dave and Benjamin ended up doing most of the work, as Collin and Anna had other things they needed to do (see Collin in the background).

Collin is fascinated by bugs, ones that crawl I should specify (he is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of anything that can fly...even the smallest gnats!). When Dave and I went on our little trip I got the kids each something from the museum and found this little bug catcher for Collin. Here are Collin and Anna after they discovered their first "catch".

He was so excited!!

Collin decided to help once he realized there were large sticks involved....

Good job guys!

Discovering all the sleeping space we'll have. It's a huge tent!

The kiddos are very pleased with their purchase!

I imagine there are going to be a lot of adventures that take place inside there....

Here's an example of how much they anticipated building their tent. They played "camping" the afternoon before building it. They used an old pull-ups box as a camp fire and each came up with their own creative ways to make a bed.....
