Backyard Camping

I've been itching to take the kids camping, and have started gearing up. We did a "test run" in the backyard recently, to see how the kids would do. Lilo's friend Maddie joined us too. She was great. The GC refused to sleep outside, but she feel asleep when I went to take a shower. I was so tempted to leave her in there all night. The kids did well. I, on the other hand, didn't sleep well at all, with the rain and the street noises. Hope I will do better in nature!
