So, we are not really campers. My last camping experience was when I was pregnant with Aubrey (hmmm...maybe that's why it has taken me so long to try it again). So after the boys camped last weekend, I thought we should do it again with the whole family - this weekend. Two times, in two weekends, and we probably will not go again for some time. The reason for condensing our camping experiences, was to rent this baby:
A yurt. This is how we camped:- no tent set up
- electricity
- heater
- beds
- flushable toilets (not inside the yurt, we had to walk a ways for that)
It was pretty awesome. They are very popular in Oregon, so this was the only weekend we could get one.
The only down side? A wild pheasant. I kid you not. We were warned about him upon our arrival - apparently a woman was attacked last weekend (and by attacked, I mean pecked at). He just happened to live behind Yurt B - our Yurt. Let me educate you on defending yourself against this wild animal. NEVER turn your back on him and use a broom when needed. Thankfully he went to bed early so we could roast marshmallows. We did not tell bear or ghost stories, but we did tell some wicked pheasant stories.

Fun! I've always wanted to try the yurt thing! That's crazy about the pheasant. When I saw the video I was hoping for some wild pheasant action. : ) I did enjoy Chad's little jingle.
I am so impressed with your family camping out two weekends in a row, well, I guess the boys did it twice, but still! That yurt looks like the way to go! Your kids will love the memories.
