Sleeping in a Tent Sounds FUN!

Yesterday, Kaydree, Karsyn and their Koch Cousins decided they wanted Grandpa to set up the tent to sleep in. Well Auntie Emmie said she would take the night duty in the tent with the kids. I have to add it was even her and Spencer's 12th anniversary! The schedule was as follows:
9:30 PM Grandpa, Uncle Steve and Benjy set up the tent in the dark.
10:01 PM We say a pray and send the kids and Emily out.
10:21 Benjy and I go to bed.
10:40PM I wake up to thunder, lightening and lots of rain. Wake Benjy up and say, " It's storming and really raining.... go get Kaydree. Tell her that I will buy her a sand animal at Target if she comes in the house to sleep!"
10:41PM Benjy gets up and hears all of this yelling and laughing...a lot of kids with blankets and pillows in the kitchen.
10:42 PM Uncle Steve takes out the screen door trying to bring all of the stuffed animals and pillows in while running to get out of the rain. Uncle Spencer slept through all of the excitment and it was even his 12th wedding anniversary! (Don't Worry... Spencer and Emily are taking their anniversary weekend trip away next weekend and we are excited because the kids will be coming to play at our house with Grandpa and Grandma!)
10:43 PM Grandpa and I tell them that we will both sleep better having them all in the house.
10:44 PM We all go to bed.
10:01 AM The kids go out and take a picture by the tent and congratulate each other for giving it a good try!
WE were planning a camping trip over the 4th of July... we have now decided it probably won't be as much fun as we remember it being as kids.
