Practicing Camping

It's not a shocker to state the fact that neither Norm nor I are outdoorsy in the sense of camping and hiking and all that. We are, however, outdoorsy in the sense of sitting outside drinking a beer or doing yardwork...

We are going to the beach in two weeks and due to the limited cargo space, we are only going to be able to take one pack-and-play, therefore, we are going to have to get creative on how/where Benjamin sleeps. As we were wandering through Aldi the other day, we picked up a sleeping back for a ridiculously cheap price, with the thought that Benji could sleep in it when we go to the beach...

Norm and Benjamin went "camping" the other day in the office... they got the sleeping bag out and did fun things like read books with flashlight and stay up waaaaaaaaaaaay past everyone's bed time.

The sleeping inside the sleeping bag only lasted but a minute, since this is what I found in the morning:

Yesterday morning we got the sleeping bag out again (more practice) while we were being lazy watching Saturday morning cartoons... 

That night, because it was the "weekend" (concept that we are starting to introduce to Benjamin...), he camped out in our room... besides me sitting on the rocker waiting for him to fall asleep and not wander about the room (as he attempted multiple times), sleeping in the sleeping bag was a success!

We have one more weekend to practice before the real thing!
