Vander Linden Musings

We promised the boys that we would go camping this past Friday. Things happened where we weren’t able to go. Since that was the second time this summer… we had to do SOMETHING for them.

We decided to set the tent up in the backyard and make smores in our fire pit. The boys slept in the tent with our big lab, Jackson. I was a little nervous about that- but we figured Jackson would warn us if something went wrong.

Jake came in around 2 am because the wind wouldn’t let him sleep. Gerritt came in a 6 am since the sun was up- I told him to go to bed- I’m sure he didn’t (he’s not much of a fan of sleeping) and Josh stayed in the tent until Milo came and jumped on the tent to get to Jackson. Guess he figured it wasn’t fair that Jackson got to sleep in the tent and he didn’t.

While we roasted marshmallows Friday night- the dogs begged and begged for some chocolate. To no avail- poor guys. I gave them the crumbs from the graham crackers when we were done stuffing our faces.
