Jenna and I have been planning a Daddy/Daughter camping trip with one of Jenna's buds and her dad for later this fall but Jenna has been chompin' at the bit to camp out overnight in her hammock. The weather has finally started to cool and we decided that last night would be a good night to give it a go in the backyard.
We set Jenna up in my normal spot in the edge of the woods behind our house and I cleared a new spot for myself a couple of trees over.
Being that its been anything but cold or even cool here until recently, I haven't made her an underquilt yet so I picked her up a closed-cell foam pad from WallyWorld last week. Combining the pad with a fairly decent sleeping bag, she was good to go. As for me, I had my usual PLUQ/sleeping bag setup.
As evening fell, Connie, Jenna, the dogs and I all headed out back, built a fire in our fire pit and settled in to chill for a little while and toast a few marshmallows...
Around ten, Connie finally decided to call it a night and headed back inside with the dogs. Jenna and I chilled a little longer by the fire and I took advantage of a bit of quiet time to enjoy a good cigar. Before long Jenna began to doze off in her chair...
and the fire was burnin' down so we decided it was time to turn in. I got her settled then crawled in my own hammock for the night.
We woke to a beautiful morning...
Well, I did anyway...Jenna was apparently super comfy and stayed asleep for a little while longer.
I'm thinkin' she liked this hammock camping thing...
