Campout in our Living Room

On Tuesday, James wanted to buy some sleeping bags at K-mart that were on clearance for $8. He told me that they were really good sleeping bags and that they only weighed 3 pounds so they would be really good for back-packing. We've been talking about going back-packing this summer with our good friends Sam and Drew. We could also use them for camping, which I am DYEING to do this summer with him. I thought it would also be a good idea just to have them around the house, for "just in case" reasons. Plus, the one he was getting for me was purple. So, obviously all signs pointed to yes, and we bought them when I picked him up from work that night.

On our way home, James came up with a brilliant idea to break them in. A campout. Well, since it's been pretty cold in Logan lately, it wouldn't be a very good idea to go up the canyon, so we compromised with our living room. First, we needed supplies. On our way home from K-mart, we stopped at the grocery store to get all the things we needed for tin-foil (sheep herder's) dinner. YuM! We also got chips and soda, all essential to the full campout experience. We stopped at redbox too, to rent an "outdoors-ish" movie. Turns out there weren't very many of those, so we settled on the new "Journey to the Center of the Earth". After we got all the supplies we headed home.

Before we "set up camp" we decided to put our tin foil dinners together and put them in the oven. While they were cooking, we set up our fort. It's a good thing we bought that table last week, because the chairs were just what we needed for a base. In order to be more comfortable, we spoiled ourselves and brought in the matress from our bed to sleep on. Give me a break, I had work in the morning. So here are the results of our fort:
Pretty nice, huh? We even had the T.V. inside of it, and we tied a bunch of James' ties together and hung them from the ceiling to keep it up better. It was a pretty sweet set-up.

After we set up our fort, we ate our delicious tin-foil dinners. Oh man, they were so yummy. Here's a pictures of those so your mouth can water over their deliciousness.
After we ate our dinner we got into our fort and watched our movie, which totally turned out to be really good. We weren't quite tired after the movie was over, so we popped in "All Dogs go to Heaven." James gave that movie to me for Easter, he's a sweetie! I pretty sure we might've fallen asleep before the movie was over, but anyway! Here's one more picture of us inside of our fort.
