Saturday was our annual HOA sponsored neighborhood campout. This was our first year to attend and we had a blast! They had music, lawn games, organized minute-to-win-it games with prizes, a chili-cook off contest, BBQ for purchase on-site and complimentary hotdogs and smores. They also screened a movie after dark.
Landon was majorly into the idea of camping and wanted to stay close to the tent and do "camping things". He enjoyed all the extra events and kicking a ball around our campsite but was less interested in the playground since that was a "normal" event. Ethan loved camping as well but was happy to swing on the swings as much as possible.
Ethan won the minute-to-win-it ping pong ball game!
Landon enjoyed playing Jenga, but mostly playing it his own way.
Daddy taught Ethan the finer points of throwing a frisbee
It was really fun seeing the neighborhood kids run around and play with flashlights on the dark playground.
Landon thought it was pretty neat that we could hang our lantern in the center of our tent and that Daddy hung glowsticks around the outside of the tent as well.
But best of all in Ethan's mind were the smores. Landon said that all of it was the best part. Camping really brought him out of his shell and he was dismayed when we took the tent down the next day and he realized it was only a one-day event!
