childhood memories

So for the past few years my neighbors have done a beginning/ end of summer camp out with their kids and surrounding neighbors kids. They set-up what they call "tent city" in the backyard. It is actually kind of cool to see all these domed tops rising up like hot air balloons filling with hot air. They have a cook out(and I am sure there are S'mores involved), watch a movie that is projected on the side of a house and play games (ghosts in the graveyard is a favorite) until they all pass out, usually around 9:30. This is such a great idea that I wish, when I was growing up, we did something like this. It is an inexpensive way to have fun and create great memories. I am sure when these kids grow up they'll say "remember when we slept in tents in the backyard? That was a lot of fun"
