Tipi Tantrum

We stayed at Ruby's Inn. It's a very unique place because it has accommodations for all types of travelers. There are hotel rooms, RV parks, camp grounds, and tipi. Yeap, you can stay in a tipi. (Can you see where this is going?)

Most of the tipis were further away deeper in the woods and towards the back of the grounds. We had a lake right by our hotel room, which made a lovely view. However, just across the lake was one of the biggest tipi around. 

The View from Our Room

It didn't take long before Heidi Anne put 2 and 2 together. She (like almost any child) was upset that we weren't sleeping in a tipi. We explained that the people in teepees did not have a laptop, so they can't watch movies, and their teepees were so hot, and there wasn't even a bathroom. She still thought a tent would be more fun. That is when I had a brilliant Mommy Moment. 

I put a blanket between the two beds. TA-DA!! I had made a little fort just for Heidi Anne. She loved it. Now she got a teepee in a nice cozy room, with lights, no bugs, and a movie. Take that teepee people.
