A Campout




I pulled the tent into the house and the kids have had fun all week playing in it. Today, we put a comforter on the ground. Everyone got a flash light, and we pretended to be on a camp out. The kids would take turn telling me which kinds of animals were outside the tent, and I would let them know if we were in any danger of being eaten. For example, they saw a giraffe, and a told them that we would just give him some grass to eat, but he wouldn't eat us. When it was an animal capable of devouring us, whomever told me about the animal would get eaten. So, Jaden said that she saw a lion, so I scared her by attacking her when she wasn't paying attention (with a quick and harmless grab on her ribs). They all screamed when someone was attacked, and of course, it got WILD. They had a lot of fun, so that's what matters.
