Tent Time

Such a peaceful day, we are blessed.
 What You'll Need:
Double Ended Clip Chain
Extra Fabric/Blanket
Items to secure Fabric into the grass
(We used our slip-n-slide stakes)
 
 
So...we went camping for the first time. Now, that's all my son wants to do, camp, hike, go on an "adventure".
While my son was at school, my daughter and I surprised him with our own backyard tent.
Yes, we could set up our 2 person real tent, but the imagination when building our tent was incredible.


Story Time:
Joe's favorite part of camping
or bonfires are the stories.
 
We secured our old dog vinyl yard chain to 2 trees.
Draped a roll of extra fabric (donated by my uncle) over the chain.
Cut 6 holes on each end of the tent.
Secured the tent into the grass.
Rescued a few outdoor cushions for seating and sleeping.

I saw so many adorable tent from Pinterest, but could not find the time to create them. This was super easy, free and just made three days incredible. We used our outdoor chair cushions as a reading nook and head pillows for naps. We found extra sheer fabric and made a door way. And I cannot forget about the dino house we made...we are missing a few T-Rex's/
