Poppy called to see if Ella wanted to spend the night with him on Friday
for a front yard campout. He has a two-man tent and thought it was just
the perfect size for he and Ella to enjoy. Josh and I were skeptical about
whether or not she would last all night… especially since she is afraid of
a gnat. We asked Garan to please take some pictures with her camera.

All done.
Of course, no campout is complete without a sack full of books and toys.
Heading in for the night. I hear there were a few squeals and some cell
phone room service requests, but all in all a very successful campout.
The sun is up.
and this is what I saw when I stopped to pick her up at 8:45! Not only did
she make it through the night, but she wouldn’t let Poppy out of the tent
this morning. We are well on our way to having an outdoorsy little girl.
No spend the night party at Garan’s can be declared over until homemade
waffles make their appearance. Even mommy got in on the breakfast goodness.
Thanks Garan & Poppy for the invitation and pictures; Ella had a great time!
