Backyard Camping

We have been so busy this summer that we haven't had a chance to take the kids camping. So, tonight Terry is taking them camping in the backyard. A nice compromise!
The kids started the evening making banana boats. They are easy to make. First, you take a banana and cut a slit in the peel. Then scoop out a little of the banana. Replace the missing banana with chocolate chips. Next, put a layer of marshmallows on top of the chocolate chips. Wrap the banana in foil. Finally, cook it over a campfire until it is all melted. Eat with a spoon.

The kids were super excited about there adventure. I am excited to have a quiet house tonight, with the kids in the tent with Terry.
