Rain Rain go Away!!

It has been raining in my little part of the world for the last 3 days. But I am not letting that put a damper on things. Did you like that..'damper' ha I'm so clever.
Anywho my daughter and I have been wanting to go tenting. Just in the front yard, because well she doesn't know that's not really camping! Ah tricking children, easy and fun!!
I decided instead to have an indoor camping night!  Our tent is so large that it would literally fill our living room, so instead we used the play house:

It's really hard to see whats actually going on in this photo, we camped in Maddi's room so there wasn't much space! You can kind of see the 2 halves of the play house, we put the matress from her bed inside and pinned a sheet over, but left an open side so we could watch a movie from bed. Yep true campers!

Here's an inside shot of my little man..getting ready to watch Cars, or so he thinks! We ended up watching Little Mermaid :)

Camping is just as much about the food as it is the tent, and the number one camping food to me is SMORES! We made a modified version that I found here: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/warm-toasted-marshmallow-smores-bars/902bb288-e52b-4aba-a264-925d20f37d98

This is a must try for smore lovers! Here's how mine came out:

There is one issue I had with this though, it makes a huge pan of smores. More than a family of 4 can ingest safely. However we did have some the next day, that we reheated in the microwave for a few seconds and they were just as gooey as they should be.

Happy camping :)
