The Teepee...

I've mentioned before about the teepee that my Grandma Chase made for us when we were little kids.  I have fond memories of setting up blankets & pillows and playing inside of it.  I LOVED watching my kids play with in when we stayed with my mom in San Diego two summers ago.  I dreamed of how I could fit in my car and drive it back home with me.  The day finally came when the teepee made it's to Texas via good old UPS.  It was like Christmas.  I was so excited for my kids to play with it and fall in love with it like I had as a child.  And all I can say is the teepee has not disappointed.  The other day we set it up outside (it's January and we are playing outside...love it) and we pretended to be Indians hunting and gathering in the backyard.  It was pretty great!

Cute, cute. I also love the teepee, and love the fact that we are still playing outside in January. We need to get together soon, I am having Becca withdrawls!

Ummm, did you really need to rub it in about it being January and your playing outside. In t-shirts for crying out loud!! Not nice Becca, not nice.

Now that I got that out of my system I can say how fun. I remember you talking about the teepee. I can't believe that was two summers ago. Time is flying by. How fun for your kids and fun for you. I love sharing my old memories with my kids and watching them do things that I have such fond memories about. I can imagine how fun this is for you. Miss you!
