Kate had her very first sleepover/camping trip. We have some great friends here, the Dunn Family. Their daughter, Maggie, is Kate's age and they have been buddies since before they were even a year old. Erin Dunn, my dear friend, had twins last fall and so our youngest are close in age as well. Tim and Nick are friends and we all just generally have a great time together! We even share a passion for the Boston Red Sox as they lived in Boston at the same time we did, though we did not know them then! Anyway, Tim got a great camping tent for Father's Day, so we all decided that the Daddys would take the girls "camping" in the Dunn's backyard. The girls had a blast! During the afternoon they swam, played on the swingset, blew bubbles and just ran around having a ball. After a BBQ where the girls devoured ears of corn on the cob, Tim built a fire in their fire pit (did I mention they have the greatest backyard of all time?) and we all made S'Mores. Though the girls just wanted to eat plain "Marshum-mewwos" as Kate calls them. Finally the Dads and the girls settled into their sleeping bags for a night in the backyard! Nick says that Kate slept great and believe it or not, even with the sunrise at 5am or some unholy hour, the girls slept until 8am in the backyard!!!! Too fun! Kate has not stopped talking about it. Thanks to the Dunns for a terrific time! Here are some pics:
Maggie and Kate - such good friends!

The girls worked out the kinks after a night of sleeping on the ground by doing a little post-camping yoga workout in front of a yoga DVD!
