Camping indoors

I had the best of intentions.  I fully intended to camp out on the back lawn with the boys this evening.  I had the sleeping bags, tarps, and s'mores ready, but Hurricane Ike is sending the foul weather our way and thunderstorms throughout the evening rained on the best of our plans.  In truth, it has yet to start raining, but the radar says it could happen any minute, so indoor camping it was.  We grilled hot dogs on the grill, spent an hour or so at Going Bonkers to wear them down and have tons of fun, then came home, removed the grills from the grill for easier access to the flame, and roasted marshmallows than we promptly sandwiched with dark chocolate between surprisingly soft graham crackers.  Weird, but still gooey and delicious.

After treats we rolled out the sleeping bags in the office and watched All Dogs Go to Heaven as night fell on us.  They're now rolled up in their sleeping bags sleeping soundly while I catch up on every single thing I didn't do because we were having so much fun.  Fun is so good.  Here are some shots of camp all set set and ready for bed!  Too bad they're a little camera shy.
