we’re camping. good friends of ours who actually have a yard big enough to put a tent in (the mighty, mighty boigs) are throwing a little cookout/camping thing — and sparklet couldn’t be happier.the early evening was made a little more exciting by a string of thunderstorms that came through right around bedtime, but that didn’t slow the under 6 year old girl demographic who used the extra time to jump on an air mattress for two or three hours.
sparklet didn’t go to bed until well after 10am, but she was asleep before her head hit the pillow.

camping, day one

… and sparklet got to look at a fire truck up close when someone smelled a gas leak in the street in front of the house. win, win.
