The Big Campout

Last night we had the first big campout in the clubhouse. We started the afternoon by inviting Luke's friend Noah over. They went to the Science Spectrum and played, then came back to the house for grilled hot dogs and s'mores...


Then, the boys and I went back to the museum to watch "Beavers" on the IMAX screen. Pretty impressive filming -- I kept imagining some little tiny camera man swimming along with the beavers...

Then, Luke and I set up the clubhouse for sleeping. Here we are about to hit the hay...


And here we are saying goodnight to Mom...


All in all it was a great time. We did discover there is a leak in the blow up mattress (slow leak -- didn't lose all of the air until about 1:00am!) and it took me a while to crawl out of the loft, but it was a fun evening.

Luke says: "It was very fun on May 25 of 2007 because we had our campout. Before the campout Noah, my best friend, came over. I have known him since I was in Pre-K. And every day last year and this year I have been waiting for him to come over. Spending the night in my clubhouse was really fun. P.S. We had s'mores and hotdogs."
