Backyard Camping

The weather has finally started to cool off a little in the evenings. We decided to do some backyard camping. Travis and Bergen set up the tent together. Bergen had fun playing in the tent, but when it was time to settle down to go to sleep, he couldn't really grasp that concept. Travis and I both tried our best to keep our patience and encourage Bergen to sleep. We read stories, we laid in the dark, we sang songs, Travis and I got jumped and walked on, and we laid in silence hoping Bergen would get the idea. But at long past 10pm and another (yup there was more than one) escape from the tent by Bergen, I decided if you can't beat 'em, join em. So in the dark I climbed onto the trampoline after Bergen and yes, jumped. At that moment being the fun mommy seemed easier than being the follow through with the plan mommy. Bergen thought it was so fun. After a little bit Bergen and I went in the house and I put Bergen to bed in his room. Then I went to sleep on my comfy bed. But since Travis went to all that work to put the tent up, he didn't want to waste it, and slept out there by himself. Hopefully our next camping adventure goes a little better and lasts a little longer. Course this shouldn't be too hard to beat :)
