From Apple's journal #24

This Christmas eve was a bit different.
I had 3 very anxious little girls with me and I decided it would be fun to do something that they had never done before and that would keep them extremely entertained until Christmas morning.
We went camping.
Yes. Camping.
I dressed them up in warm, practical clothes, packed up the tent, put enough food on a bag to feed a small army (and some muffins too :P) and got ready for a day of outdoor playfulness.
We picked flowers, tried to fish (seeing Mia trying to handle a mini-fishing pole was priceless), sang, danced under the moonlight, made up constellations and roasted marshmallows in the fire.
At 9 pm they were all sleeping. I didn't even got the chance to change them into their pjs... they just collapsed from way too much fun and excitement.
We all missed Owen and his expertise as a make believe tree house constructor and bugs, but we named a constellation after him to keep him close to our hearts.
