At the beginning of the summer I made a bucket list of things to do during the summer. We did many of them. One of the favorites was sleeping on the deck. I remember sleeping outside during the summer when I was growing up. Our backyard is not fenced in and so I have never let the kids sleep outside. Then I realized that they could sleep on the deck which is right off our bedroom and completely encaged.
Caroline and Joshua liked it so much that they slept outside for a couple of weeks straight. I would go lay down by them when they were going to sleep. I loved the perfect mixture of warm nights and clear skies. We would look at the stars and I pointed out the Big and Little Dippers. That is about all I can recognize without maps. They were beautiful nights. I would have slept outside, but I also really like my bed, so laying down for half hour was just perfect.
Even Benjamin slept outside one night.
Good morning Grace.
