Camping in your Living Room – You can pitch your tent in your living room, or just roll out those sleeping bags. Bring any other soft creature comforts like pillows or blankets. If you have a fireplace you can roast marshmallows and make s’mores. If you don’t have a fireplace you can roast your marshmallows over candles. Just make sure you are supervising your children well for that one. Keep the lights low or off and break out those lanterns. You can go the extra mile and buy a glow-in-the-dark map of the constellations and tape it to your ceiling so you all can fall asleep under the stars.
