Dressed For Camp

My kids love their back packs and getting geared up to go on an adventure, most of them imaginary. One day, they were pretending to get ready for camp. Ian got his new swim goggles on, back pack all loaded...t-shirt optional I guess. Next, I heard him telling Natalie that he will get her stuff for her. Its 90 degrees out and she comes to me wearing a winter jacket with her back pack. I should have asked if they were going to the same camp! ha-ha

Grab Your Blanket, Let's GO!

Natalie and Ian play very well together despite gender difference and almost 4 years between them. Everyday, they will disappear into his room to play something while I'm just in the next room with my Mom ear finely tuned. I heard footsteps going between rooms and was vaguely aware of the blankets/stuffed animal friends from Natalie's room traveling next door to Ian's room. Imagine my chuckle when I find them all wrapped up camping out. I overheard Ian making big plans for Natalie actually sleeping in his room...including snacks they would have. They were both taking it seriously.

This was take two at the slumber party...moved up from the floor onto Ian's bottom bunk. The more pillows and stuffed animals...the better!
