The Best Campout Ever!

Grammy and Grandpa Brown hatched a plan with the kids sometime last winter to have a summertime backyard campout.  This month, that plan became a reality when Grammy and Grandpa Brown took in the kids for 2 days and hosted a backyard campout along with tons of fun daytime play.  Erik and I really appreciated 2 days of a quiet house - we celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary with dinner (Depot Nuevo!) and a movie (Batman: The Dark Knight Rises!), and we got a lot of things done around the house to prepare for baby #3, who's due to arrive in about 5 weeks!  But back to the campout fun - here are some photos that Grammy shared after their great time together!

Grammy and Grandpa took the kids to the Morton Arboretum, along with Aunt Mel and Jackson

The next day was spent at the Brookfield Zoo - they loved the giant bug exhibit!
