Camping McKenna Style











For quite some time now Kaleigh has been asking Daddy to take her camping. We are pretty sure it was just for the marshmellows and the campfire stories. We were going to get a cabin about 45 minutes away but our fear was she would eat some s'mores and then want to go home to sleep. So we got creative! Last night Matthew set up our beach tent, her cot and an air mattress and had the fire going in the fireplace. As soon as she saw the set up she immediately started dancing around and shouting "We're going camping!". Due to the fact that this was a special Daddy/Daughter event Kaleigh insisted that they wear matching outfits so she put on her Under Armor shirt to look like dad. They looked so cute together! We had some hotdogs and beans and then made s'mores (PS Kaleigh didn't like them and wouldn't eat them). Matthew rented a movie that we watched from our sleeping bags and then Kaleigh and Daddy told "scary" stories before it was bedtime. She woke up so excited that she had been camping. It was a success without the dirt, bugs and cold!
