Another fun movie/camping night

Ali came again on Monday and the girls could not wait to show her the tent and campout again! So we settled in on Monday and Tuesday we set up the tent and the movie projector and settled in for another fun night at the Lang family outdoor theater.
Since it was just our family we moved the swing over and laid it down so the girls had their own little area to lay down that was all padded and cushy. We expected Amanda to fall asleep but she surprised us and stayed up for the whole movie.
Ali told the girls that if you pull your ears out and make a face you look like a monkey. HMM What do you think?
After the movie the girls all posed as the got ready to climb into their sleeping bags. There were lots of fun shots but I love everyones expressions here especially Lizzy as she kept acting suprised and covering her mouth.
We forgot that we were going to make shadows on the wall after the movie so everyone piled out of the tent and we played some more before heading back to the tent for some shut eye.

You can see in the background that we set up the playpen for Lizzy but she would have nothing to do with it and screamed when we put her in so we ended up taking out the mattress part and she slept next to mom. Amazingly she went right to sleep and so did everyone else. The best part was that we had real bathrooms and didn't have to worry about what critter might get into our garbage while we slept :)
