Fun with cousins

Kelly and Cole went to Hawaii on Monday so we got the chance to watch two of their kids while they are gone until next Monday. We have enjoyed every minute of having them here. They fit right in with our crazy family. Wednesday night Brent came home with a tent for Nate that he's been begging for. He'll need it for his scout overnighters and he still had some of his birthday money leftover to pay for half so Brent gave in and got it. I told the kids that they would be able to sleep in it on Thursday night since there would be no school on Friday. The result.....
This is Jackson, Jake, Nate and Emily at 6:30am Thursday morning. I woke up at 6:00 to help Sarah get off to school by 6:40 and I saw all of these kids dressed and brushing their teeth so they could set up the tent before school. If I had only known years ago that this was the key to getting kids up! They were done setting it up by 6:30 and didn't need to go to school until 8:00!

Here's Jackson and Jake having breakfast this morning in the tent.

Yes the tent was set up with a t.v., boombox, dvd player, and even a guitar! You can tell Rebecca had a hand in getting them all set up. The fun part was cleaning it all up tonight at 10pm before they went to bed because they decided they didn't want to sleep in it a second night.

Campouts in the backyard are always fun, although I don't remember ever having such a nice set up with all the entertainment! :D

That looks like that had so much fun. DOn't think I'd appreciate being woken up that early. Good times!
