Indian summer camp out
Why is this kid so happy? Because its 75 degrees outside at 7 p.m. -- unheard of in San Francisco. When we realized the overnight low was projected to be 64 degrees, we knew it was the perfect, rare night for a backyard camp out.
First Riley set up his tent. He was totally focused and did it almost entirely on his own.
He was very proud of a job well done.
Next we lounged on the outdoor couches, enjoying a little holiday challah as family. It was so incredibly relaxing to be enjoying each other's company, the perfect weather and the calmness of our lives -- it felt like the true meaning of Shabbat.
Then it was campfire time.
He and Daddy got a little silly as they roasted their chicken sausages.
They later covered them in crescent rolls and followed up with the best toasted marshmallows I've ever tasted.
Then it was time for bed. Rilz used his trusty Thomas flashlight to read stories about camping. He told Daddy that he would be very brave sleeping in the tent, then went right to bed.
If the kid is going to sleep this well outside, we better hope for a long Indian summer!
