Did you ever make tents out of chairs and blankets for your kids? The boys used to love doing that in the living room and "camping out" :)
For some reason I thought they would out grow that - but Luke purchased a new tent last week, and when it showed up in the mail, he promptly set it up in the living room.
It's called the "hubba hubba" - it's a one man tent. Luke is hoping to do some back trails hiking and camping this year, so he purchased the tent, a new back pack, and a sleeping bag that is good to about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. The sleeping bag is down filled.
Well - hope he has fun. Think I'll stick with camping in a cabin with a real bed :)

At least your living room is big enough to accommodate the tent!
ReplyDeleteLOL Too funny!
ReplyDeleteMy living room will soon have a tewnt in it as soon as school gets out, my grandson and I will "camping". I did promise an outdoor camping trip...you know...right by the back door! LOL
Have a great day!
Hope you'll join the Twitter Tree today!

Only the kittens have a tent or shelving type thingy. And, I'm with you, I'd rather camp at Holiday Inn.
ReplyDeleteSome things are never outgrown. Much to confining for me - but I hope he enjoys it.

How funny :) My kids have forgotten we bought a tent last summer. I'm afraid to remind them because I'm sure they will want me to drag it out! Last summer a freak thunderstorm snapped two of the tent poles and we had to go exchange the whole shebang.
ReplyDeleteThat is cute I remember the kids having fun with tents!
ReplyDeletePS I am with you on the beds thing :)
Been there, done that! It has it's good points. Mostly, the thing I get out of back packing is the sense of accomplishment. That and the camaraderie that I shared with the dear friends I went with.
ReplyDeleteI would do it again!
I guess there are some things you just never out grow :) It's been a long time since I've had tents built in my living room
ReplyDeleteIt has been awhile since a tent was set up in my living room. My kids used to make a daily ritual out of it! Hubby did set up a "pup" tent in the back yard with a blanket for the puppies when they were little. They loved it just like little kids!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on needing a bed. No more camping on the ground for this ole' lady! LOL
If only he had green hair, he could disguise himself as a carrot in the sleeping bag. No Bears would want to eat a carrot!
ReplyDeleteLOL Ter! That is hilarious!
