Sounds like fun, despite hard floors and bed wetting. Who sleeps well while camping anyways- not me- but I still like to do it! When are you hoping to be in your house?

And the great thing about kids-is they're usually easy to please-as long as you do something with them. What fun!

But you're right, it was still lovely, those little wrinkles are just part of life, and for us this was a perfect night.

We lived in Tucson, and commuted back and forth to our ranch about an hour south of there for a few years while my dad built it, sleeping there on weekends.

We stayed all weekend at our new house sleeping on the floor. Getting up all hours to restock the fireplace. Good memories! Thanks for resurfacing them! I remember those days.
