How Bout a Little Backyard Campin?

Now that the weather is finally starting to cool down, Daddy thought I might be up for a little backyard campin.  This was special Lilly/Daddy time.  Mommy and Anna got to sleep comfortably inside on beds.  Boo!  That's no fun!  What's fun is pitching the tent in the backyard, pulling out the lil grill mate and roasting marshmallows on it, then reading books inside the tent by the neighbor's spotlight - which they graciously (ahem) kept on for us all. night. long.
Camping out is so much fun.  Mommy doesn't remember doing it much at all when she was little.  Duda used to take her ICE FISHING on a frozen lake.  Which, Mommy thought that was as much fun as I think camping out in the backyard is.  Mommy can not imagine how much fun that would be now - pitching a tent on 13 inch think Minnesota ice, drilling a hole and sitting there with a pink Snoopy fishing pole and little pink bobber for hours on end waiting for something to bite that you take home, clean and eat...well, now that Mommy is remembering it, it does sound like fun, doesn't it?  Little girls remember doing these kinds of things with Daddy's.
See?  Fun!
Love,
Lilly (and absentee Anna)
