Backyard Camping, Say What!!!
Hi guys,
Happy Monday! Ugh... As much as I hated Monday (well, to be fair, it used to be my favorite day before pandemic), I used to loathe camping more. Hahaha~~ That was the old me, pre-baby Beverly. But look at me know, a mom of two and I'm raving about camping. Thank you motherhood.
Maybe I shouldn't take credit from Chean, let me confess. This was Chean's idea, authentically his Father's Day project with the kids. Lucky him, smart to exclude me from his backyard camping project, haha, truly appreciate him for not signing me up for extra works. Lap you.
#1 Good luck Chean! And Happy Father's Day ๐๐๐
Of course, I helped out too. Scroll down for evidences, k.
#2 It's all started with this piece of paper.
Chean literally sat the kids down for a brainstorming session a week before. How cute! The kids are never shy to ask for movie night and sweet treats whenever they could. Wish granted of course, Daddy Chean has zero power to resist when his daughters say, "Pleeeeease,"
#3 These two! Packed their backpacks, supa adorb~~
#4 Here. My major contribution of the day was to make sure that the camping foods were served on time at the right temperature. Wait, did I mention I was the one that bought and carry four bags of groceries home while Chean was setting up the camping tent.
Team work is magic, we always divide and conquer, no doubt.
#5 I know, their messy hair, fresh out from a quick shower though. Btw, Summer never let me work on her hair. And I don't want it to be a daily battle, so I just let her be and prep myself for a beautiful story to tell when she grows older. Aside from their hair, the sausage bun was a big hit!!!
#6 Cozy up inside the tent.
#7 The happy face I captured during snack time after dinner!
#8 Yan Yan with Baby Chloe
#9 Summer Bunny๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
#10 Why you soooooo cute? โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
#11 Second round of sweet treat.
#12 What's camping without S.M.O.R.E.S?
#13 The most anticipated moment of the day! The highlight of their sweet tooth journey.
#14 So much sugar!!! *fainted*
This probably one of the many reasons why I'm not a super big fans of camping yet... It's the camping foods that drive me nuts a little ๐ Think about all the can foods, high sodium pre-prepped meals, and the unnecessary extra sugar that these two little bodies inhale... So unhealthy ๐๐๐ Ok, I should stop nagging and just focus on the fun elements.
#15 We played and hung out in the backyard until the sky turned dark, which was a brand new experience for us.
#16 Then Chean brought the girls inside the tent and I went back into our house. Yup, you read this right, I can't sleep on the airbed, it's too uncomfortable for me ๐ ๐ ๐
Well... I thought I'd be able to have a restful night but boy, I miss them so much (just the girls, Chean can continue to stay in the tent, lol). It felt a little weird not to have them sleeping inside this house with me; it's indeed the first time for me to be by myself in the house and the house suddenly felt so big. Boo Hoo... I didn't sleep well. I now understand how Chean felt each time I brought the girls back to Malaysia with me; he must have felt the same too. Not loneliness but the emptiness, it felt strange.
#17 Took this pic at 3am that day. I wasn't alseep yet so I checked on them from the dining room.
#18 This was taken at 9a.m.! My babies were up!!! Look at Summer, she was so elated to see me! And Chloe? She's always swinging ๐
#19 I sped to the tent and gave them the biggest hug. So I asked if they miss me, of course they answered Y.E.S. and then, Chloe said, "I feel so bad for you Mommy that you have to be in the house all by yourself. We had a really fun time camping out here."
Hahahaha! Her bold statement made my day; it totally provided a different perspective. I was worried if the tent wasn't warm enough or the air beds were too soft or the backyard animals paid a visit and all the worries that a mom is good at... But Chloe thought differently as if I was being left out. Hahaha.
All in all, both of them had such a great time. Thumbs up to Daddy Chean for his brilliant idea, the girls are so blessed to have such a fun addy to be around with. It was indeed a special day for Chean and me too.
If you still can't get enough of this camping post. I have something extra juicy for you.

Happy reading! Or should I say... Happy Watching!
XOXO,
