Camping... sort of!

It's been a pretty long winter, and we are ready to move on. We are looking forward to some camping weather to return. Now that our family is larger, we either need to invest in a larger tent, or boot someone out! I chose the latter option. An important part of camping is setting up, tearing down, and maintaining your gear. Dylan and Zachary are getting old enough to start learning about this as they move out "on their own".

Knowing this, Jen's Aunt Patty and Uncle Kenny got the boys their very own tent for Christmas. What fun is a tent for Christmas when you can't use it for at least 5 more months? We fixed that this weekend! I am finished (I think) with all the framing modifications and repairs to the "work" side of the house and I have the area cleaned up and awaiting the building inspector's visit. Last night, we took advantage of the empty, unfinished living room and camped out... in! We're planning to make it a two night stay!
