During the heavy rains recently, Christopher and Catherine went camping - in our lounge room. We moved the dining table out, rolled back the rug, and put down a tarp. Then the kids brought in their sleeping bags, a camp stove, cooking supplies and a "fire pit" (with candles). Their campsite faced out of the windows towards the bush and trees.
They spent ages playing games together. At night, they cooked their own dinner on the gas stove. The fire pit was lit when it got dark, and it looked very cosy indeed. This was so much easier than putting up a tent, but still a lot of fun. I'm guessing they will ask to go camping again next time it rains for days on end.... even though the clean-up was a bit of work afterwards :)

Sounds such fun. All we cousins had the best time camping in an old army tent in the back yard of Uncle Stan Winter next door to where we lived.

Looks like something I would've schemed while I was there :]
