Emma was out of school for winter vacation. She is very much a homebody so we did a lot of staying at home. She had a couple play dates with friends but then her and Gabe came down with a cold. (which turned into RSV for Gabe) Ces and I had some fun things planned for Friday and Saturday but we had to do some quick brainstorming to find something else to make the weekend fun for sick babies. So, I decided to have a camp out in the living room. We have lived in this apartment for almost three years and never used the fireplace so I decided it was time. We cooked hotdogs and then marshmallows for s'mores. The kids had so much fun. Miguel has a little play tent that I set up too. Miguel has been begging for another camp out everyday since. We will eventually have to take them camping for real so they don't grow up thinking that this is a real camp out :)
Miguel was funny. He had to cook his hotdog all by himself. He was thought the fire was amazing!! He would get as close as he possibley could without us freaking out and then he would hold his hotdog in the fire for about 2 seconds and say "ok, it's good." He ate about 4 of them!

What a fun 'vacation'! And personally, that's my idea of camping! That or the Holiday Inn. It's good that somebody uses their fireplace; we never do.
How fun! We should all do a camp out sometime. I love the pictures - you're awesome at thinking of fun creative ideas.
Rissa- this looks so fun! All these things that you do with your kiddos look so fun- what a great mom you are!!
