Camp-In

On Friday, Matt went looking at motorcycles with his friend Dave so I decided to let the kids have a bit of fun. I had just purchased a small tent at Aldi's earlier that day. We love to camp and realize that at some point we are not all going to fit into our current tent and this one was a deal for $25. So Matt put up the tent in our den before he left and kids had a camp-in. They were beyond excited. We pulled out their sleeping bags, camping chairs and the small camping table. We made the night authentic by making smores....in the oven. It's easy. We did this for the first time last June when we were visiting our good friends, the Blasingims, in Colorado. We spent the night in a cabin and cooked smores in the oven. It was great.


A cozy set-up

They'd eat the whole bad of marshmallows if I let them.

Chillin'

So, you just lay the graham crackers out like this. Don't put them together until their warm. Place the marshmallows on top and then the chocolate. It will melt nicely and when done, squish them together. The only thing missing is the toasty-ness of the marshmallows but its just as yummy.

Mason's first marshmallow.

See the stringy mess? I kept asking him if there were good and he just kept shaking his head yes with big eyes and a big smile.
