Over the Hills and Through the Woods...

My mom is the best grandma ever. Seriously! She had the boys up to her house for a campout in her backyard. She had it all planned out. She and the boys set up the tent together. Then...



They cooked outside using camping stoves and the grill. They had some mountain house chicken and rice, which I think is a dehydrated meal you pour boiling water into and then wait 5 minutes, and it's ready. She cooked fresh corn on the grill, and hot dogs.



They had smores for dessert, of course.



She had planned a treasure hunt with clues, and when they got to the prize, it was games,puzzles, flashlights, and fun things they could do that night and in the morning.



Having fun in the tent...






Faking or actually asleep?



They woke up at 6:30 because it started raining and they got wet! So they came in, watched some cartoons with grandpa and had homemade french toast! Pretty much the best night of their lives.
