We have a bug tent that is...

great in the summer time for hanging out in while sipping coffee or painting on the art easel. When the mosquitoes have been relentless, this space has been something of a safe haven from those pesky Yukon Critters!!

This Fall, the girls decided that they wanted to go "camping" in the Bug Tent so, camping we went!! While looking back over the photos of out first camp-out under the stars, I couldn't pick only a few favourite smiles or moments...so I posted TONS of them ;) By the way, it hit -4'C that night & the Northern Lights came out, as Adelaide describes it, to "dance & hold hands." They both loved it so much that they begged many a night since to go out again! I think they got 3 or 4 nights in the bug tent before the snow finally came & forced us to take it down for another season...With the dark of winter closing in & the temperatures dripping, a new camping season feels so far away...but we all know that time flys & that it will be here before we know it :)

So, on that note, here are my multitude of favourites...
