Sleeping on the Deck

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.
