We were without childcare for a few days due to a family emergency for our nanny, so Aaron and I took vacation days to cover it. I decided to get creative and help all of us to have some fun while we were home, so I dug out a lady bug tent from Amita's closet. She had used a tunnel that came with the tent when she was a baby, but we'd never actually set the tent up. Let me just say that this provided not hours, but DAYS of fun for everyone! It was the perfect diversion (especially since it was rainy outside too).
We read books about camping and roasted pretend marshmallows over a pretend fire. There was lots of climbing in and out of the tent, and it was actually tall enough for Mama and Daddy to sit up in (not at the same time!).
Here's Ansel inside the tent. Amita wasn't sure about sharing at first, but she warmed up to the idea!
Even the cats were interested in the new structure in our living room. Azzy kept trying to burrow underneath the tent and Ansel kept finding him!
Amita liked to help find Azzy too!
Here's Amita wearing her camping backpack. It is a frog backpack that used to belong to Mama.
She was very excited to wear her backpack around the house, just like Dora!
And even Baxter snuck inside when the tent was empty. He was very glad the kids took naps in their beds so he could take his nap inside their tent!
