Camping out back is a great idea. Make sure you have the dogs with you so it is a bigger circus. Then find a place to go in the mountains so it's cooler (fewer bugs). Can you build a small fire? I take my team camping/hiking every year. It is a great bonding experience.
I'll get the dogs involved. I had planned on this as a trial run with a follow up trip to the mountains in a couple of weeks.
