Camping in the back yard is best done spontaneously. On July 2nd Marshall told the kids they could camp in the back yard and they were beyond excited. They funny part is that was the first night fireworks were really going off like crazy so they couldn't fall asleep until after 10:30. So not the best timing but at least the weather was nice. Once everyone fell asleep they stayed asleep. I sacrificed and stayed inside the house with the minis ;)
They were up bright and early with the sun. It's fun making memories as they get old enough to do more.
