Yesterday the kids were antsy (which I don't understand since we spent two hours with MOMS Club in the park) so I hit on the idea of pulling out the child sized tent and setting it up for them. Oh my gosh did they have fun!
They brought out pillows, blankets and stuffed friends to add to the two sleeping bags already inside. They zipped and unzipped the door. They giggled like fools and wore themselves out. Meanwhile, I sat on the patio reading a book. It was really nice.
I forgot how much fun tents in the backyard during the summer are when you're a kid.
