When Isaiah was a baby we camped frequently. Matthew and I had a nice system and it all worked very smoothly. For some reason once we started AdCraft the camping trips stopped. I'm not sure why other than Matthew was very, very busy and vacations were tricky to plan.
As a result of the camping stand-still, Anna's never camped. She has never slept in our tent, until last night. We weren't really roughing it or camping for real just spending the night in the tent. No pressure, no real planning. We just grabbed some blankets and pillows and all five of us (yes, Matilda slept in the tent too) tried it out. It went very well. I think we will become a camping family again very soon. The kids had tons of fun and we all fit, rather comfortably too.
Anna was tired so she fell asleep quickly. Isaiah and I were chatting as Matthew was arranging some items. Isaiah had smuggled a bag of Pringles into the tent and asked if I wanted some chips. I looked at him very seriously and said that we can't eat in the tent. He asked why and I just said it was against the rules. Isaiah looked very concerned and asked if I was serious.
"Yep.", I said.
"You mean like, with the government? It's against the law with the government?"
I giggled and just explained how we can't really get crumbs in the tent and that it was sort of a family rule but if we're careful we'd be okay. Thankfully the government isn't regulating any eating of Pringles in tents.
Although, I do think they have a problem with the eating of S'mores in tents.

Oh my gosh, that boy is something else. I was laughing out loud when reading this, dad asked what's so funny, after reading it to him, we both were laughing. That's my "grandboy" for ya.

I think anything easily vacuumable is permitted in the tent. Heck, all the sand has to be vacuumed out, Pringle's are gona be sucked up right with it, right?
Eat up baby.
