Grammie promised the kids we would set the tent up one night this summer and sleep in it all night. Last night was the night and we had so much fun. After making s'mores, suburbia style, we got into the tent and settled down. After lots of giggles, turning the flashlights on and off and talking, Jack was the first to drop off to sleep. Maddy was close behind him.
I am happy to report that everybody made it all night (including me!). I look at these pictures of the "adventure", as we called it, and can't help but wonder if they will remember this night in years to come. I think we do things, especially for our grand kids, for two reasons. One is for the experience of it, but the other reason is for the memories they make. The night in the tent is over and done. The memories of our time spent together is a lasting memory that we can recall fondly many time over. It is a gift that keeps on giving. Sigh...
