it had been a really warm and sticky day. It was really uncomfortable inside the house and the girls were playing happily in the garden - but at 8pm i thought that we should bring the girls inside and start getting them ready for bed. Then Richard had another idea - why not enjoy the beautiful evening and camp out in the garden under the stars.
The girls jumped at the idea and were in pyjamas in record time. We set up a ground sheet, camp mats, sleeping bags and blankets on the lawn, and Richard got a fire going in our patio fire basket.
We toasted marshmallows on the fire and as the stars came out talked about the constellations and showed the girls how to find the North star.
The girls all slept through the night with Martha waking briefly for milk and then settling back to sleep. It was a lovely impromtu evening and was a lovely way to discuss and marvel at the creation.

That was one of the funnest nights camping I've ever had!
Such a great idea. Looks like you had lots of fun.
